In the Cards

“In the Cards,” exclusive to Kindle, revisits some of the secondary characters and the prewar, rural Wisconsin setting that enriched Christina Schwarz’s New York Times #1 bestselling novel and Oprah Book Club selection, Drowning Ruth. Here a practical girl finds herself caught in that most impractical of states: love. Slightly stylized like the Tarot cards on which its plot turns, and gently wry, this is modern fable about the power of storytelling and the stubbornness of the heart.Christina Schwarz, a novelist, is the author of Drowning Ruth, All is Vanity, and So Long at the Fair.
