Reviews
"Truly brilliant and profound. There's magic between these covers. Leichter is the master of creating a mood and a world that is both breezy and earth-shattering. I felt changed by this book. Every page is revelatory and left me happily breathless, and the story broke my heart in the best way. I thank the literary heavens for Terrace Story." -- Diane Cook, Booker shortlisted author of The New Wilderness, "Prepare to be astonished. Like the magical terrace of its title, Hilary Leichter's spectacular second novel contains the whole world. Told with boundless imagination, wisdom, and effortlessly gorgeous prose, Terrace Story will transform your understanding of time, space, memory, love, longing, and family and make you see your life anew. This book is a wonder." -- Jessamine Chan, author of The School for Good Mothers "Hilary Leichter, one of our most original novelists, amazes us again with a beautifully unclassifiable novel. Step out onto the terrace, where space and time, cause and effect, and fiction and reality have been redefined and gorgeously subverted. Terrace Story isn't a novel you merely read; it's a book you inhabit." -- Hernan Diaz, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Trust "Truly brilliant and profound. There's magic between these covers. Leichter is the master of creating a mood and a world that is both breezy and earth-shattering. I felt changed by this book. Every page is revelatory and left me happily breathless, and the story broke my heart in the best way. I thank the literary heavens for Terrace Story." -- Diane Cook, Booker shortlisted author of The New Wilderness "Terrace Story is brilliantly inventive, enchanting, disturbing, beautiful, and unlike anything I've ever read. I loved what it does with time--gone and not gone, lost and found where we never put it. Really extraordinary." -- Joan Silber, author of Secrets of Happiness and Improvement "At the book's heart are the relatable grief and terror that go along with love--of our planet, of another--and the threat of losing it...Leichter bends minds--and physics--to give a light touch to deep grief." -- Kirkus Reviews, "Prepare to be astonished.

That's a difficult truth to swallow. Perhaps we can only see it clearly piece by piece, story by story, over a lifetime. That is the pleasure and heartbreak of reading Leichter's work: the knowledge that sometimes stories have no beginning or end." -- BOMB Magazine, "Prepare to be astonished.

Leichter soars with this cogent yet dreamlike tale." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Terrace Story is fun and profound, fickle and erudite. It is an irresistibly cool book." -- Booklist "An intelligent and sneakily moving book, perfect for afternoons when you wish you were nowhere other than where you are." -- Literary Hub
Synopsis
From the author of the acclaimed novel Temporary , an intimate exploration of time, a fable about love, an epic daydream for a broken-hearted world Annie, Edward, and their young daughter, Rose, live in a cramped apartment. One night, without warning, they find a beautiful terrace hidden in their closet. It wasn't there before, and it seems to only appear when their friend Stephanie visits. A city dweller's dream come true! But every extra bit of space has a hidden cost, and the terrace sets off a seismic chain of events, forever changing the shape of their tiny home, and the shape of the world. Terrace Story follows the characters who suffer these repercussions and reverberations: the little family of three, their future now deeply uncertain, and those who orbit their fragile universe. The distance and love between these characters expands limitlessly, across generations. How far can the mind travel when it's looking for something that is gone? Where do we put our loneliness, longing, and desire? What do we do with the emotions that seem to stretch beyond the body, beyond the boundaries of life and death? Based on the National Magazine Award-winning story, Hilary Leichter's profound second novel asks how we nurture love when death looms over every moment. From one of our most innovative and daring writers, Terrace Story is an astounding meditation on loss, a reverie about extinction, and a map for where to go next., From the author of the acclaimed novel Temporary, an intimate exploration of time, a fable about love, an epic daydream for a broken-hearted world Annie, Edward, and their young daughter, Rose, live in a cramped apartment.

    Shipped super quickly and was wonderfully packaged! Quality is even better than I expected- I knew the description said it had the sprayed edges (making it a first print), but sometimes people say that and then send a different version. This buyer is legit- I got the sprayed edges version that I needed, and it came in excellent condition!
