Ithaca
Ithaca is the story of how sudden change comes into a slow life. For 39 years, Daisy Turner has been a professor's wife, typing his notes and helping out. The centerpiece of her life is a weekly open house-a dinner party that always features soup. And then, one day, her husband drops dead. Daisy has nothing to hold onto-except, perhaps, the soup. Then, suddenly, Daisy finds herself entangled with a man whose wife is disabled, mothering a young environmental activist farmer, and swept into the controversy about fracking that has begun to concern their small Ivy League town. What happens when a quiet, almost sedimentary life meets the high-pressure forces of a small town? How does one rebuild after life as you know it is suddenly turned upside down-or is fracked?
