THE
FICTION CLASS Susan Breen’s debut novel THE FICTION CLASS is an eloquent and thought-provoking story of love, loss, and growth. No stranger to the world of fiction writing, Breen has published short stories in more than a dozen literary magazines including the American Literary Review. Her talent as a writer fuels her performance in the classroom as a teacher of Beginning and Advanced Fiction at Gotham Writers’ Workshop in Manhattan. In THE FICTION CLASS we meet Arabella Hicks, who, on paper, seems more than qualified to teach a weekly fiction class on New York’s Upper West Side: she’s an author herself; she’s passionate about books; she’s even named after the heroine in a Georgette Heyer novel. But in reality, Arabella is feeling the stress of her life in every aspect. She’s thirty-eight, single, and has been writing the same book for the last seven years. Arabella yearns to make peace with her bitter and ailing mother, but she can’t figure out how. That is until she discovers a wonderful secret: her mother is writing a novel of her own that reveals much about her past that she’s never shared with her daughter. A moving tale of the angst between mothers and daughters as we age and roles reverse, THE FICTION CLASS illustrates the value of forgiveness and offers insight into how to live a more fulfilled life.
