Her job demands little, she mostly socializes with men she meets online, and she's rarely in touch with Helene, her adult daughter. But when Helene's marriage is threatened, she turns, uncharacteristically, to her mother for commiseration, and a long weekend away in London. As the two women embark on their uneasy companionship, Karin's past, and the origins of her studied detachments, are cast in a new light, and she can no longer ignore their effects--on not only herself and her own relationships, but on her daughter's as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn unnerving, closely observed study of character--and the choices we do and do not make--\u003cem\u003eNear Distance\u003c\/em\u003e introduces Hanna Stoltenberg as a writer of piercing insight and startling lucidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Biblioasis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/14\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771966436\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/18\/2024\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Hanna Stoltenberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44833834827957,"sku":"9781771966436","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_1d2d7701-0173-41d3-b955-435e599ed838.jpg?v=1732030282","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/near-distance-9781771966436","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
