Atmospheric Disturbances by Rivka Galchen
When Dr. Leo Liebenstein’s wife disappears, she leaves behind a single confounding clue: a woman who looks, talks and behaves exactly like her - or almost exactly like her - and even audaciously claims to be her.
With tremendous compassion and dazzling literary sophistication, Rivka Galchen’s debut novel investigates the moment of crisis when you suddenly realize that the reality you insist upon is no longer one you can accept, and the person you love has become merely the person you live with. This highly inventive debut explores the mysterious nature of human relationships, and how we spend our lives trying to weather the storms of our own making.
