It is very hard to write a great second novel. Defying the pattern, Lydia Kiesling has now written a great second novel, “Mobility,” and it is a very different story from her first novel, “The Golden State,” biblioracle writes.
Author Lydia Kiesling at home in 2018 in San Francisco. Her second book is"Mobility."Often, a first novel is the product of many years of work, a buildup of everything an individual artist has inside of them that bursts forth in a glorious debut.Lydia Kiesling’s first novel, “The Golden State” was a fantastic debut.
While “The Golden State” spans two weeks, “Mobility” covers 50-plus years in the life of Elizabeth “Bunny” Glenn. We first meet Bunny in 1998 at age 15 when her father, a career U.S. diplomat, is stationed in Baku, Azerbaijan, near the start of a gold rush over offshore oil. Young Bunny is primarily interested in some of the brash older men who are involved in the political intrigue surrounding the developing industry.
From there we jump to Bunny in her 20s drifting aimlessly through east Texas tending to the emotional needs of her mother who has been left by her father and is working a clerical job at a private oil services company. Bunny is diligent at her work, proofreading technical documents she doesn’t fully understand appears to be kind of a gift, but she has little in her life that seems to mean anything to her. She exists.
