From award-winning writer Idra Novey comes a novel of "deft and surprising" honesty (Rumaan Alam) with two unforgettable female voices.
Set in the Allegheny Mountains of Appalachia, Take What You Need tracks the aftermath of a long estrangement between a stepmother and daughter. Leah is a web editor and young mother who's sought an urban life and clean break from her rural childhood. But with her stepmother Jean's death, Leah must return to sort through what's been left behind.
What Leah discovers is astonishing: Jean has filled the house with giant sculptures she's welded from scraps of the area's industrial history. There's also a young man now living in the house who's played an unknown role in Jean's last years and in her art.
Told in alternating points of view, Take What You Need is a portrait of complex and lasting family relationships, and of the continuing mystery of the people we love most.
