Website | www.rachelwortell.com/ Instagram | @RachWortell Episode 3 | Kristen Iskandrian  In this episode, we talk about Kristen's novel, Motherest, out now from Twelve/Hachette. Publishers Weekly named Motherest one of the best books of 2017, calling it, "[A] stellar first novel...sharp and honest...Agnes's voice charms with a subtle undercurrent of humor and sarcasm making this a delightful and satisfying reading experience. Iskandrian is a writer to watch."
Nathan Hill in the New York Times says, "MOTHEREST is a moving story of loss and loneliness and parenthood and love, in all their vast human multitudes. It's an intensely perceptive and honest novel about the sometimes-unbridgeable gap between parents and children. Kristen Iskandrian's narrator is an extraordinary character: a woman searching desperately for connection, an island trying to become a peninsula. You will want to yell at her, as I did, and you will want to cry with her, as I did, and you will be transfixed until the very last page."
