A
striking and surprising debut novel from an exhilarating new voice, Such a Fun
Age is a page-turning and big-hearted story about race and privilege, set
around a young black babysitter, her well-intentioned employer, and a
surprising connection that threatens to undo them both.
Alix Chamberlain is a woman who
gets what she wants and has made a living, with her confidence-driven brand,
showing other women how to do the same. So she is shocked when her babysitter,
Emira Tucker, is confronted while watching the Chamberlains' toddler one night,
walking the aisles of their local high-end supermarket. The store's security
guard, seeing a young black woman out late with a white child, accuses Emira of
kidnapping two-year-old Briar. A small crowd gathers, a bystander films
everything, and Emira is furious and humiliated. Alix resolves to make things
right.
But Emira herself is aimless,
broke, and wary of Alix's desire to help. At twenty-five, she is about to lose
her health insurance and has no idea what to do with her life. When the video
of Emira unearths someone from Alix's past, both women find themselves on a
crash course that will upend everything they think they know about themselves,
and each other.
With empathy and piercing
social commentary, Such a Fun Age explores the stickiness of transactional
relationships, what it means to make someone "family," and the
complicated reality of being a grown up. It is a searing debut for our times.
