In 1977, Jon Hassler introduced readers to the residents of Staggerford and sparked a decades-long love affair with the small town. With The New Woman, Hassler once again proves that hes "a writer good enough to restore your faith in fiction" (Richard Russo, The New York Times Book Review).
Agatha McGee, now eighty-seven years old, knows she is slowing down. From the window of her new home in the Sunset Senior apartments, she can see that Staggerford has become a town with hustle and bustle that threatens to leave her behind. Shes not quite resigned to a schedule of Sunset Seniors arts and crafts classes but with the deaths of two close friends, a mysterious missing shoe box, her nephew Fredericks worrisome mental state, and, most surprising, a kidnapped little girl left in her care, Agatha finds plenty of excitement..
Populated with the charming crew of eccentrics and quirky characters that keep Hasslers fans clamoring for more, The New Woman follows Agatha as she discovers that friends and family are the secrets to longevity and that the essence of life lies in the details.
Jon Hassler is the author of eleven novels, two short story collections, a volume of novellas, and two works of nonfiction. He is Regents Professor Emeritus at St. Johns University in Minnesota.
