This would present a challenge to most parents, but if one’s maternal instincts are on the low end, the problem looms larger. A man strikes an under-the-table deal with a surgeon to spend a few quiet seconds closer to his wife than he’s ever been; a young soon-to-be mother looks on in paralyzing astonishment as her husband walks away from a twenty-year career in advertising at the urging of his spirit animal; an elderly artist risks more than he knows when he’s commissioned by his newly arrived neighbors to produce the work of a lifetime.

Aether" - moving coming of age and loss of innocence story - about the fruitless search for authenticity in a culture of consumption. Acampora is a brilliant anthropologist of the suburbs ... [The Wonder Garden] is reminiscent of John Cheever in its anatomizing of suburban ennui and of Ann Beattie in its bemused dissection of a colorful cast of eccentrics. But Acampora's is entirely her own book ... Acampora's ability to lay bare the heartaches of complex individuals within an utterly unique imaginative world is worthy of high praise."-- Boston Globe Swarm" - this is the vermin-themed art installation story - I've already tried to pique your curiosity there, because it's a great story. Poignant and about hubris, I guess - a bit of an Icarus theme. "The Wonder Garden" is another story a bit about a family betrayal of sorts stemming from hubris gone way awry... The way the book is structured helps keep the reader engaged as you keep finding that characters from previous stories suddenly make an appearance a few stories later. Spooky and fabulous... A cleareyed lens into the strange, human wants of upper-class suburbia."-- Kirkus (starred review)
