From the internationally bestselling author of four books, including The Opposite of Me,
a vibrant, compulsively readable novel about two married couples who
pursue a dream to open a bed-and-breakfast in small-town Vermont.
In her previous works including The Best of Us, “rising star” (Library Journal) Sarah Pekkanen captivated readers by penning “refreshingly introspective, sharply realistic, and tenderly humorous” novels (Booklist) that had readers “flying through the pages” (Today show). Now, in Catching Air, Pekkanen turns an unflinching eye on the tangled relationships of two pairs of thirty-somethings.
A
chance to run a B&B in snowy, remote Vermont—it’s an offer Kira
Danner can’t resist after six soul-crushing years of working as a lawyer
in Florida. As Kira and her husband, Peter, step into a brand new life,
she quells her fears about living with the B&B’s co-owners: Peter’s
sexy, irresponsible brother Rand, and Rand’s wife, Alyssa … who is
essentially a stranger.
For her part, Alyssa sees taking over the
B&B as the latest in a string of adventures. Plus, a quiet place
might help her recover from the news that she can’t bear children. But
the idyllic town proves to be anything but serene. Within weeks, the
sisters-in-law are scrambling to prepare for their first big booking—a
winter wedding—and soon a shy, mysterious woman comes to work for them.
Dawn Zukoski is hiding something; that much is clear. But what the
sisters-in-law don’t realize is that Dawn is also hiding from someone.
Relatable and dynamic, Catching Air
delves deeply into the vital relationships that give shape to women’s
lives.

“Internationally bestselling Pekkanen writes novels that offer
thoughtful examinations of how the past shapes adult relationships and
the differences between men and women. Many of the interwoven story
lines are finely wrought, and the book as a whole is compelling.”
