The Bookseller

The Bookseller by Cynthia Swanson
352  Pages

Kitty/Katherine is the main character in a novel set in Denver in the 1960's.  Kitty is running a failing bookstore with her best friend Frieda when she starts to have spells where she imagines she has a different life.  She is married to Lars and has 3 children. She is more elegant and well-dressed but her friend Frieda is no longer a part of her life.  In this reality, things seem better but as time progresses it becomes apparent that there are troubles here as well.  

An interesting premise but not handled as well as Jo Walton's book "My Real Children".
