In this crackling portrayal of friendship in peril, a young womans world is upended when a tragedy in her best friends life tests the boundaries of their sisterhood--a sharp and compelling debut novel from a Ghanaian-American writer. nDzifa has always felt a bit off. Maybe its the family baggage, or maybe its just how shes wired; she craves sanctuary, a soft place to land, but struggles to find it in her personal or professional life. Depleted by cycles of burnout and a state of perpetual bracing, shes the polar opposite of her magnetic best friend, Tatiana, who has everything Dzifa never did: unconditional love, unshakeable confidence, and a knack for bending every circumstance to her favor-even an unexpected pregnancy. Yet despite their differences, they share a skepticism of the respectability politics that theyve been taught to should organize their lives. n nJust as they each begin to find their footing, the sudden passing of Tatianas child upends everything. Dzifa rushes cross-country to help her friend prepare for the funeral, but when she arrives, she encounters family dynamics complex enough to rival her own messy origins. With Tatianas problematic in-laws seeding doubts about her capacity as a mother, Dzifa fears for her own capacity-to stand up for her best friend, and to stand up for herself. When Tatiana asks her for the ultimate favor, Dzifa must choose between loyalty at the expense of her own wellbeing, or authenticity at the expense of her most valued friendship. n nA riveting exploration of sisterhood, what it means to mother and be mothered, and what it means to be well, Somewhere Soft to Land reckons with the sometimes funny, sometimes fraught, friendship between women with divergent ideologies, aspirations, personalities, and paths.n
