      About This Book

      It's the summer of 2015, Brooklyn, and the city is sweltering from another record-breaking heat wave, this one accompanied by biblical rains. Edith, a recently retired legal librarian, and her identical twin sister, Kat, have discovered something ominous in their hall closet: it's shaped like a mushroom, it's phosphorescent, and it's rapidly consuming their wall. But that's only the beginning…

      Part suspense, part screwball comedy, Jill Ciment's brilliant novel looks at what happens when our lives—so seemingly set and ordered—break down in the wake of calamity.
