Publisher's summary
Bloomsbury presents Artifact by Arlene Heyman, read by Stephanie Ellyne.
Lottie Kristin is independent from the start. Born in the middle of the century to a middle-class family in the very middle of America, Lottie is set apart by her smarts and sensuality. A girl who'd rather carry out dissections on a snowy back porch than join her family for Christmas dinner is a strange and exotic artifact in the town of Sleeping Bay.
But by her early 20s, Lottie finds herself trapped in a marriage gone stale, with a daughter she adores but whose existence jeopardises her place in the lab and her dream of becoming a scientist. How can a young woman make her way in a world determined to contain her brilliance, her will and her longing to live?
Bravely and wisely written, Artifact is an intimate and propulsive portrait of a whole woman, a celebration of her refusal to be defined by others’ imaginations and a meditation on the glorious chaos of biological life.
Critic reviews
"Sensual and sometimes shocking...Heyman writes with such intimacy and precision that she frequently makes you feel like a trespasser." (Daily Mail)
