Suzanne Matson

Powell's Books on Hawthorne 3723 SE Hawthorne Blvd, Portland, OR, United States

From Powell's website: Suzanne Matson’s engrossing, intimate new novel, Ultraviolet (Catapult), centers on Kathryn while illuminating the lives of three generations of women, each more independent than the last. Ultraviolet is a lyrical novel of great emotional depth, with Matson recognizing both the drama that is within every existence and the strengths and fragilities of our relationships with others. In her stirring new work, Matson shines a brilliant light on the complexities of marriage, motherhood, aging, and the end of life. Preorder a signed edition of Ultraviolet
