What if you finally have it all--marriage, grown children, money, a house by the sea... What happens next? Link raises the curtain right there at the happy ending, for an unblinking look at grown women, lovely homes, sun-soaked Southern California, and the economic apocalypse that is at once moving and hilarious, satiric and generously imagined." --<i>Jincy Willett, author of The Writing Class, Winner of the National Book Award and Jenny and the Jaws of Life</i></p><p>"<i>Denting the Bosch</i> is an intelligent, serious, eloquent tale of three women facing the truths of their lives, learning to accept the changes, and moving on with courage and joy." --<i>Nancy Thayer, author of Heat Wave, Beachcombers, and The Hot Flash Club</i></p><p>"<i>Denting the Bosch</i> broke my heart over and over again, in small ways and big, the way the best books do. Teresa Link writes like a dream, inhabiting her characters so thoroughly that I felt like they were dear friends whose missteps I watched with horror and whose triumphs I celebrated as though they were my own." --<i>Meg Mitchell Moore, author of The Arrivals and the forthcoming So Far Away</i></p><p>"In <i>Denting the Bosch</i> Teresa Link gleefully combs through the wreckage of three crumbling marriages in the relentlessly perfect world of Southern California. With her sly sense of humor and generosity of spirit she reveals startling and tender truths about friendship and the deep desire for home." --<i>Lisa Fugard, author of Skinner's Drift</i></p><p>"Teresa's Link's electric gift is her ability to turn disruption into a cause for hope. With wit, charisma, and vital characters, <i>Denting the Bosch</i> tells the story of three women, in three different couples, and how they build up their lives after the unexpected shatters their relationships. Set against the background of Sea Ranch, the planned utopian community in Northern California, this novel is both a search for home and a testing of the ideals that have shaped us. I couldn't put it down." --<i>Paul Lisicky, author of The Burning House, Famous Builder, and Lawnboy</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>TERESA LINK was born on the campus of Notre Dame and raised on the Jersey Shore.
