The New York Times–bestselling author takes on New Agers as one
woman searches for meaning in this “brilliantly satiric but . . .
sweet-natured” novel (Publishers Weekly). Thirty-year-old Martha
is stagnating in a demeaning, woefully underpaid job as a fact-checker
at frothy fashion magazine Mode and an unhappy relationship with an
unrepentant jerk. But she stumbles upon an unlikely new circle of
friends when she interrupts a goddess-worshipping ceremony on Fire
Island and ends up rescuing its accident-prone leader, Isis Moonwagon,
from the waves. From the steel skyscrapers of Manhattan to a sweat
lodge in the Arizona desert, Martha chases fulfillment and
self-actualization in the company of this group of opinionated,
bumbling women, but the revelations she receives are not necessarily
what she expected. “Prose’s satiric vision could not be more
sharply focused here, and her powers of observation and deadpan humor
never falter” as she sends up the New Age movement and its
over-earnest adherents (The Miami Herald).
