lix Chamberlain is a woman who gets what she wants and has made a living, with her confidence-driven brand, showing other women how to do the same, So she is shocked when her babysitter, Emira Tucker, is confronted while watching the Chamberlains' toddler one night, walking the aisles of their local high- end supermarket. The store's security guard, seeing a young black woman out late with a white child, accuses Emira of kidnapping two-year-old Briar. A small crowd gathers, a bystander flms everything, and Emira is furious and humiliated. Alix resolves to make things right.
But Emira herself is aimless, broke, and wary of Alix's desire to help. At twenty-five, she`has no idea what to do with her life. When the video of Emira goes public and unearths someone from Alix's past, both women find themselves on a crash course that will upend everything they think they know about them- selves, and each other.
With empathy and piercing social commentary, Such a Fun Age explores the stickiness of transactional relationships, what it means to make someone "family," and the complicated reality of being a grown-up. It is a searing debut for our times.
"The first time in a long time that I had a novel glued to my hands for two days . . . Such a Fun Age is so witty, so touching and humane. Just uttérly phenomenal." Jessie Burton, author of The Miniaturist
