Rules for Visiting
“Rules for Visiting” by Jessica Francis Kane is a large print edition published by Thorndike Press in 2019, featuring 360 pages in English. The narrative follows May Attaway, a woman who finds solace in her work as a gardener and prefers the company of plants over people. After receiving some time off from her job, May decides to reconnect with four friends from her past, opting for personal visits rather than engaging with their curated online personas.
Throughout her journey, May reflects on her relationships and the complexities of friendship and family life. As she navigates these encounters, she draws inspiration from classic literature, likening her experiences to a female Odyssey. This exploration of connection and the nuances of human interaction offers readers a thoughtful look at the challenges and rewards of rekindling old friendships.
Official synopsis Publisher
An Indie Next PickAt forty, May Attaway is more at home with plants than people. Over the years, she’s turned inward, finding pleasure in language, her work as a gardener, and keeping her neighbors at arm’s length while keenly observing them. Granted some leave from her job, May is inspired to reconnect with four once-close friends. She knows they will never have a proper reunion, so she goes to each of them one-by-one — choosing to bypass their perfectly cultivated online lives for their messy analog ones. A student of the classics, May considers her journey a female Odyssey. What might the world have had if, instead of waiting, Penelope had set out on an adventure of her own?
