Jamie Quatros remarkable debut story collection  I Want to Show You More  announced her as \"a writer of great originality\" (New York Times Book Review). Now  with her first novel  Quatro delivers a portrait of female desire and the complexities of a marriage. Married twenty years to Thomas and living in Nashville with their two children  Maggie is drawn ineluctably into a passionate affair while still fiercely committed to her husband and family. What begins as a platonic exchange between writer Maggie and poet James  gradually transforms into an emotional and erotically-charged bond that challenges Maggies sense of loyalty and morality  drawing her into the depths of desire. Using an array of narrative techniques and written in spare  elegant prose  Jamie Quatro gives us a compelling account of one womans emotional  psychological  physical  and spiritual yearningsunveiling the impulses and contradictions that reside in us all. Fire Sermon  \"full of vivid  mercurial prose  breathes new life into its subject and sets it gloriously ablaze\" (Claire Luchette  O Magazine).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45646906425397,"sku":"ByrdShop_0802127045","price":23.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780802127044.jpg?v=1781681049","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/fire-sermon-9780802127044","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
