![]() CLAIRE LUCHETTE has published work in the Virginia Quarterly Review, the Kenyon Review, Ploughshares, and Granta. It is a novel about sisterhood, friendship, and devotion, about figuring out how we fit in (or don't), and about the unexpected friends who help us find our truest selves. Or has she just been hiding? Disarming, delightfully deadpan, and full of searching, Claire Luchette's Agatha of Little Neon offers a view into the lives of women and the choices they make. Who will she be if she isn't with her sisters? These women, the church, have been her home. ![]() Agatha is forced to venture out into the world alone to teach math at a local all-girls high school, where for the first time in years she has to reckon all on her own with what she sees and feels. ![]() They take over the care of a halfway house, where they live alongside their charges, such as the jawless Tim Gary and the headstrong Lawnmower Jill. They land in Woonsocket, a former mill town now dotted with wind turbines. But when the parish goes broke, the sisters are forced to move. ![]() The four of them are devoted to Mother Roberta and to their quiet, purposeful life. Their world is contained within the little house they share. ![]() AGATHA HAS LIVED EVERY DAY OF THE LAST nine years with her sisters: they work together, laugh together, pray together. ![]()
