Summary Evelyn set aside her career to marry, late, and motherhood was never her strong suit. Her daughter Laura felt this acutely and wanted desperately to marry, but she soon discovered her husband Gabe to be a man who expects too much of everyone in his life. Their daughter, Grace, has moved out from Laura and Gabe's house, but can't seem to live up to her potential - whatever that might be. In A Cloud in the Shape of a Girl we see these women and their trials, small and large: social slights and heartbreaks; marital disappointments and infidelities; familial dysfunction; mortality. Spanning from World War II to the present, Thompson reveals a matrilineal love story that is so perfectly grounded in our time - a story of three women regressing, stalling, and yes, evolving, over decades. One of the burning questions is: by serving her family, is a woman destined to repeat the mistakes of previous generations, or can she transcend the expectations of a place, and a time? Can she truly be free? Evelyn, Laura and Grace are the glue that binds their family together. Tethered to their small Midwestern town - by choice or chance - Jean Thompson seamlessly weaves together the stories of the Wise women with humanity and elegance, through their heartbreaks, setbacks, triumphs and tragedies.
