The Wonder Spot - Melissa Bank

What is it that defines a person’s identity? Is it the grand events—births, marriages, deaths—or the small moments, the revelations that take us by surprise? In Melissa Bank’s new novel, The Wonder Spot, destiny is in the details as she focuses on a series of small discoveries and how they build a life. The life in question is that of Sophie Applebaum, Bank’s always charming, occasionally awkward, new heroine. Narrated in Sophie’s comic, confessional voice, The Wonder Spot charts her progress through a series of interconnected stories; from boys and bat mitzvahs to careers and commitment, each episode is a milestone in Sophie’s journey. As she stumbles along, failures and successes begin to add up and she discovers that identities aren’t found, they are formed—one moment at a time.
