Girls Aloud (2023)
Judith Arnold
"Please make a point of meeting the Gillman family. Scott, the husband and father, is busy saving the world from the ravages of climate change by pedaling his recumbent bike around the United States on a summer-long tour. His wife, Ellie, and daughters Misha and Abbie, are busy saving everything else. Judith Arnold is such a terrific writer and such a gifted observer of American family life. She sees and illuminates the everyday drama of friendships, plugged toilets, weather-related mishaps, and workplace treacheries. As the titular "Girls Aloud" confront the rigors of getting by without the immediate presence of Scott, they come to the slow realization that they're neither powerless nor hobbled. Indeed, they have talents to assert, love to share, and a recasting of the order to impose. Arnold's fine prose--always on point, occasionally hilarious, never intrusive--carries the story along with a knowing and deft touch. This is a fine novel."
