Instead, her plans are wrecked by her best friend's four-year-old deaf-mute son, thrust into her reluctant care. But when the boy chooses the winning numbers for a lottery ticket, the two of them set off on a road trip across Iceland with a glove compartment stuffed full of their jackpot earnings. Along the way, they encounter black sand beaches, cucumber farms, lava fields, flocks of sheep, an Estonian choir, a falconer, a hitchhiker, and both of her exes desperate for another chance. What begins as a spontaneous adventure will unexpectedly and profoundly change the way she views her past and charts her future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eButterflies in November\u003c\/i\u003e is a blackly comic, charming, and uplifting tale of friends and lovers, motherhood, and self-discovery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press, Black Cat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802123183\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2014 pg. 54\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2014 pg. 97\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/08\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/26\/2014 pg. 111\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew Yorker (The)\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/23\/2015 pg. 91\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Au\u0026#240;ur Ava \u0026#211;lafsd\u0026#243;ttir","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36643386359964,"sku":"9780802123183","price":14.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_470c5173-2cd5-4865-80d8-9c82942b87c0.jpg?v=1603856526","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/butterflies-in-november-9780802123183","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
