Improvement

A Novel

Joan Silber

This engaging novel follows a young single mother in New York, her free-spirited aunt, and the unexpected consequences of their decisions. During her visits to her boyfriend in jail, Reyna's bond with him tightens, even as he pulls her into a dangerous cigarette smuggling scheme. When Reyna decides to leave him for her child's sake, a chain of events affects the lives of loved ones and strangers around them. Tightly woven together like Turkish rugs and full of unexpected twists, Improvement explores conviction, connection, and the potential for generosity in the face of loss.
