Among the Ten Thousand Things
By Julia Pierpont
336 pages;
Random House
In anticipation of her 12th birthday, Kay tears
into a box she believes to be an early present. But the contents—printouts of
racy emails between her father and his young lover—are anything but a gift.
Pierpont’s lithe debut novel is a sensitive meditation on betrayal and the anger
and despair that follow.
