Set in an art gallery in the Washington, DC area, and structured as a journey through the gallery’s rooms, BACKSTITCH is the story of two sisters who reunite at a retrospective of their troubled mother’s art and must confront the consequences of her ambition and the difficult, private truths behind the family’s public narrative. The novel is an exploration of family ties, the gift and cost of artistic talent, and the legacy that the artist’s daughters must carry.

“Backstitch is a splendid, irreducible work of art – about making art, about time, about memory, about the stars in the heavens, and maybe most of all about family.”
