Product Information
In her highly anticipated new novel, Judy Blume, the New York Times # 1 best-selling author of Summer Sisters and of young adult classics such as Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret, creates a richly textured and moving story of three generations of families, friends and strangers, whose lives are profoundly changed by unexpected events. In 1987, Miri Ammerman returns to her hometown of Elizabeth, New Jersey, to attend a commemoration of the worst year of her life. Thirty-five years earlier, when Miri was fifteen, and in love for the first time, a succession of airplanes fell from the sky, leaving a community reeling. Against this backdrop of actual events that Blume experienced in the early 1950s, when airline travel was new and exciting and everyone dreamed of going somewhere, she paints a vivid portrait of a particular time and place--Nat King Cole singing "Unforgettable," Elizabeth Taylor haircuts, young (and not-so-young) love, explosive friendships, A-bomb hysteria, rumors of Communist threat. And a young journalist who makes his name reporting tragedy. Through it all, one generation reminds another that life goes on. In the Unlikely Event is vintage Judy Blume, with all the hallmarks of Judy Blume's unparalleled storytelling, and full of memorable characters who cope with loss, remember the good times and, finally, wonder at the joy that keeps them going. Early reviewers have already weighed in: "Like many family stories, this one is not without its life-changing secrets and surprises. There is no surprise that the book is smoothly written, and its story compelling. The setting--the early 1950s--is especially well realized through period references and incidents." -- Booklist (starred review) and "In Blume's latest adult novel . . . young and old alike must learn to come to terms with technological disaster and social change. Her novel is characteristically accessible, frequently charming and always deeply human." -- Publishers Weekly

Reviews
"An ambitious book that combines adult experience with the sweet familiarity of Blume's writing for and about younger people. . . . The novel rivals Tolstoy or Ferrante in its number of characters, families, and stories, and it feels not just believable but like a regular preteen-style Judy Blume page-turner, emotionally resonant and down-to-earth at once. . . . It's also the experience of being in Blume's authoritative hands, reading a dramatic story about daily life told in a funny, orderly, honest style. Blume is always kind to her readers; the suffering her characters experience feels real but never cruel, never melodramatic. . . . [Her books are] deftly crafted, and she's done the hard work for us. . . . Reading In the Unlikely Event is like reconnecting with a long-lost friend." --Sarah Larson, The New Yorker " In the Unlikely Event gives us everything that Blume is known (and beloved) for--the fierce, fraught nature of young relationships, the comfort and confines of cultural identity, the messiness and joys of the body--and takes it to a new level. This novel is her most ambitious to date, and she lives up to its reach with her characteristic frankness, compassion, and charm." --Gayle Brandeis, The San Francisco Chronicle "Judy Blume isn't just revered, she's revolutionary. . . . The novel moves with momentum, told in short chapter bursts, newspaper reports and even scripted dialogue. . . . Blume nails every 1950s detail, from the refinished basements with wet bars and knotty-pine walls to Elizabeth Taylor haircuts and mentions of Bogart and Bacall. . . . Blume, whose fiction for adults has the same emotional immediacy as her books for children, makes us feel the pure shock and wonder of living." --Caroline Leavitt, The New York Times Book Review "Judy Blume is back--and on her game! . . . A deftly written story that captures a town coping with loss and the sudden fame that horrible tragedy brings. You won't want to turn the last page." --Kim Hubbard, People Magazine "It's Judy Blume and, therefore, it's gold. . . . Despite tragedy at its core, [ In the Unlikely Event ] soars." --Jacqueline Cutler, Newark Star Ledger "A heartfelt novel intended to be heartwarming. In that it fully succeeds." --Sherryl Connelly, New York Daily News "Has [Judy Blume's] signature warm, personal touch." --Megan O'Grady, Vogue.com "Comfort reading at its most soothing, the turn of its pages like sitting down with a beloved, long-lost friend." --Lucy Scholes, The Independent (U.K.) "Characteristically accessible, frequently charming, and always deeply human." -- Publishers Weekly "There is no surprise that [ In the Unlikely Event ] is smoothly written, and its story compelling. The setting--the early 1950s--is especially well realized. . . A new Blume novel will always be big news." --Michael Cart, Booklist (starred review), "Judy Blume isn't just revered, she's revolutionary. . . .
