In the Movie of Her Life, Claire Hennessy’s adult fiction debut, is a work of edgy, voice-driven short stories that go to dark places with gut-wrenching honesty that few writers can master. Haunted by the gap between what they imagined their lives would be and what they really are, these characters grapple with unspeakable longings and quiet devastation.
