The nine lives of Rose Napolitano

The nine lives of Rose Napolitano

Freitas, Donna, author
2021

Rose Napolitano is fighting with her husband, Luke, about prenatal vitamins. Rose is a successful professor and academic who never wanted to have a child. The fight ends, and with it their marriage. But then, Rose has a fight with Luke about the vitamins - again. This time the fight goes slightly differently, and so does Rose's future. Rose Napolitano's experience of choosing and then choosing again shows us in an utterly compelling way what it means, literally, to reinvent a life and, sometimes, become a different kind of woman than we ever imagined.

When she dies, so will he. Now Sylvia is starting a new novel. Of course he's got a part in it. But he also has a notion. He thinks he knows how he and Sylvia can step off the wheel of mortality altogether. All he has to do is convince her.
