A Decent World

Description

A Decent World by Ellen Hawley explores the complexities of family, identity, and belief. Summer Dawidowitz has devoted the past year to caring for her grandmother, Josie—a lifelong Communist, a dedicated teacher, and the founder of an organisation supporting schoolchildren with tutoring.

When Josie passes away, Summer's life is thrown into disarray. She must re-examine her relationships and her place in the world. What kind of relationship will she have with the mother who once abandoned her? Will she reconnect with the brother whom Josie had exiled from the family? Does Summer wish to return to the non-monogamous household she was part of before she stepped up to care for Josie?

Ultimately, Summer faces a crucial question: does she still believe that a small, devoted group of citizens can change the world, and if so, how will she contribute to that change?
