In a glass house on a hill she spends her days absorbed in her menagerie. Enigmatic architect Richard Dorsey has spent his life trying to escape the fame he garnered in his youth. Living in a world of his own construction, he finds solace only in the past. When these two worlds collide in a magical tryst both Zorka and Richard are challenged to escape their isolated lives and find connection in the hearts of one another. Astonishingly in-ventive, Alex Brunkhorst's The Mating Season is a dazz-ling work of the imagination, and a piercing look at the human heart. 'Welcome to an enchanted kingdom-a world where women talk to their furniture and bugs are household pets......A rare gem: extraordinarily in-ven-tive, full of irrepressible humor and warmth. Alex Brunkhorst writes like no one else. Her voice is as welcome and refreshing as a cool drink of spring water. This beautiful book sparkles with charm.' -Lisa Dierbeck, author of One Pill Makes You Smaller: A Novel 'A strange and gorgeous novel about the symbiotic relationship between loneliness and love.
