The Knowing

—Matthew Quick, New York Times bestselling author of The Silver Linings Playbook

From the acclaimed author of A Room Called Earth comes an addictive new novel about finding yourself in a world obsessed with staying connected.

It's Valentine's Day, and twenty-something Camille is on her way to work. Exhausted and cramping, stressing about having to face another day under the glare of her controlling, passive-aggressive boss, she realizes, too late, that she’s forgotten her phone.

Her panic is instant — no scrolling; no messaging; no escaping reality — and now she faces an hours-long commute with no relief and no distractions.

But as Camille gets closer to the city, her gaze turns inward. She thinks back to how she first met her poet boyfriend Manny; she remembers her dreams of opening her own floral designing business. And, gradually, the world around her becomes a wonder waiting to be rediscovered.
