Summary

"In every woman there are many stories...These are Rose's. Rose Napolitano is fighting with her husband, Luke, about prenatal vitamins. She promised she's take them but she didn't. Rose has always known that she didn't want to become a mother. And Luke promised that he'd never want children, either. But now he has changed his mind. Their marriage has come down to this question: Can Rose change hers as well? But then Rose has the same fight with Luke--again. This time, the fight goes differently, and so does Rose's life, as she reimagines herself in a completely new way. And so it goes, through nine versions of Rose's future. The Nine Lives of Rose Napolitano shows us--as Rose chooses, and chooses again--what it means to reinvent a life and become a kind of person that we never imagined. A what-if novel with a brilliant original structure, The Nine of Lives of Rose Napolitano is destined to drive women's conversations as they debate Rose's choices. This is a stunning story about love, loss, betrayal, divorce, death, a woman's career, and her identity--about finding one's way into a future that wasn't the future one planned, and the ways that fate intercedes when we least expect it. It will have women talking deeply about not just motherhood but who they are and who they want to become"--, Dust jacket
