Abstract
dc:description.abstractSharing Beds, a collection of three interconnected novellas, follows young women navigating family and romantic relationships, missing sisters and mothers, sticking to routines, making new homes, adopting stray cats, reading books and trying to write. These characters feel most close to reality when they try to put their experiences and interior landscapes into writing. This collection traces the tensions between the safety of the familiar and the possibility of newness; contentment in solitude and the sudden thrill of connection; the inevitability of acting in the world and the pleasure of removing oneself to watch.
