Dale M. Kushner's book The Conditions of Love traces the quest of a woman from youth to adulthood as she reckons with her parents' abandonment, her need to break from society's constraints, and her mind-boggling desire for religious and erotic love. In 1953, 10-year-old Eunice lives in the backwaters of Wisconsin with her outrageously narcissistic mom, a manicureeste and movie-star worshipper. Abandoned by her dad as an infant, Eunice worries that she will turn into a misfit like her mom. When her mother's fan, the dedicated Sam, moves in, Eunice imagines her life will finally become normal. But her desire dissolves when Sam gets kicked out, and she actually is again by themselves with her mom. A freak storm sends Eunice from all things familiar. Rescued by the shaman-like Rose, Eunice's odyssey persists with a stay in a hermit's shack and ends with a passionate romance with a mature man. Through her capacity to redefine herself, reject bitterness, and keep her center open, she survives and flourishes. In this particular, she actually is both regular and heroic. At once fable and natural storyline, The Conditions of Love is a e book about mental and physical success. Through sheer force of will, Eunice will save herself from a doomed life. This engaging study of a mom and daughter's romantic relationship will appeal to the same audience that embraced Mona Simpson's acclaimed common Anywhere But Here and Elizabeth Strout's best-selling Amy and Isabelle.
