Description
Five women and a lonely trailer park on the edge of the Mojave Desert:… What sifts beneath the sand are mysteries—a fossilized whale, a particle accelerator, and calculated dreams of escape. Above live five unique women: Hattie, who tries to find her dead mother’s face within her own; Kinni, the veiled survivor of Nagasaki; Melody, the orphan who nurses wayward children; Lani, who uses a camera to create distances; and Oxena, who can’t decide if she loves or hates her husband of forty years. As the men struggle with the bloodstain of history, Azimuths emerges as a story of emotional and physical paralysis. Each character remains on a singular trajectory, yet all are connected as they try to figure out who and why to love, and how to move forward with their lives.
Advance Praise
“R. A. Morean's Azimuths features five women who live in a trailer park on the edge of the Mojave Desert, where there are no seasons. The possibility of change, though, is something this unforgettable cast of characters longs for and fears. The writing is spot on—lyrical and full of grit exactly when it needs to be. This is a novel that will stay with you long after the final page."
Lee Martin, author of The Bright Forever, finalist for the Pulitzer Prize
"In the Raceway Trailer Park, Morean has created an indelible American place—the kind of place where people of differing backgrounds come together to make a community of choice. A good novel is a self-contained world, full of rich individuals rooted in the American Landscape. Azimuths is just that."Kevin Haworth, author of The Discontinuity of Small Things, Dayton Literary Peace Prize nominee
