Instead, these women meet with disorientation, confusion; they are disappointed by the people closest to them -- lovers, husbands, family members. Finally, they arrive at the sometimes heartbreaking but ultimately optimistic realization that the answers they seek lie not in other people or places but within themselves. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLimbo, and Other Places I Have Lived is a brilliant collection from a writer of exceptional poise and insight.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lily Tuck","offers":[{"title":"Trade Paperback","offer_id":51671291789618,"sku":"9780060934859","price":10.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/7934\/0850\/files\/9780060934859.jpg?v=1787960422","url":"https:\/\/53rdstreetbooks.com\/products\/limbo-and-other-places-i-have-lived-short-stories","provider":"53rd Street Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
