Description
Stevie Moon can’t outrun her mother’s gravity, even as she tries to step away from college dreams and settle into a life that feels small, stalled, and strangely inescapable. Set against the glittering, cutthroat backdrop of Hollywood, her days unfold as a tense negotiation of identity—between class and aspiration, performance and privacy, and the complicated pull of family love. As Stevie’s relationships deepen and her own desires come into focus, the novel turns motherhood into a landscape of both shelter and harm, where grief and longing shape every choice. With Mary H.K. Choi’s razor-sharp, keenly observed style and nuanced character work, *Pool House* delivers an adult story about mothers and daughters that’s as emotionally precise as it is propulsive.
