Product Information
A sweeping, richly compassionate novel about marriage, ambition, and the reclaiming of love--by the bestselling novelist and cofounder of Narrative magazine. Many love stories end in marria≥ rare is the love story that begins with one--already promised, already worn. Set in San Francisco during the first year of Obama's presidency, Three Stages of Amazement deftly charts the struggles and triumphs of Lena Rusch and her husband Charlie Pepper, still believe they can have it all--sex, love, marriage, children, career, brilliance. But life delivers surprises and tests--a stillborn child, an economic crash, a ruthless business rival and the attentions of an old lover. Touched by tragedy and by ordinary hopes unmet, Lena and Charlie must face, for the first time in their lives, real limitation. Fifteen years after her stunning debut, Rise the Euphrates , Carol Edgarian has created a panoramic and deeply moving story about business and family and the demands of love in our time. She takes readers on a spellbinding journey inside America today, with an unforgettable cast of characters including Cal Rusch, Lena's uncle, a Silicon Valley titan, and Ivy, his socialite wife, who engender complication in the lives of all the people they touch: their grown children, business partners, friends, the servants and workers upon whom the glamorous life depends--and Lena, whose quest for grace is the pulse of this gorgeous novel. As Lena and Charlie, Ivy and Cal, face the temptations of their youth and the fantasy of the redo, they discover that real life is the ultimate challenge. Told with eloquence and compassion, Three Stages of Amazement is a true thriller of the heart, a riveting story about confronting adversity, gaining wisdom, and finding great love.

Reviews
""In what may well be the most serious and the most entertaining domestic novel of the year, San Francisco writer Carol Edgarian delivers a new turn on Tolstoy's old chestnut: "Happy families are alike, but every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." She calls her book Three Stages of Amazement and sets it in San Francisco toward the end of the "dot com" craze. We meet Lena Rusch, an appealing but harried mother of two whose surgeon husband has been trying, with middling success, to found his own medical device company. The novel deftly dramatizes questions about the essence of married life and throws in a mystery about Lena's origins for good measure. But there's no mystery as to how Edgarian keeps us going - deep insight into human behavior, coupled with the right language to describe it... Beautifully written and deeply engaging." -Alan Cheuse, NPR's All Things Considered, "A lovely, resonant novel... This story feels universal. Not to mention generous and graceful and true."-- O , the Oprah magazine, “A lovely, resonant novel& This story feels universal. Not to mention generous and graceful and true.� O , the Oprah magazine, "Love, family, marriage, illness and money--this is a life story and a love story for our era, beautifully observed, sharply etched by a master storyteller."--Amy Bloom, author of Away and Where the God of Love Hangs Out, "Furiously compelling... Three Stages of Amazement is a fiery, deeply involving book." --Janet Maslin, New York Times, "What really got my literary pulse racing is Edgarian's most fascinating creation, Lena's estranged uncle, 79-year-old Cal Rusch… This legendary Silicon Valley mogul -- a diabolically clever cross between Steve Jobs and Donald Trump -- sets the pages on fire every time he shows up." -Jocelyn McClurg, USA Today, "Carol Edgarian's novel is a book about grown-ups for grown-ups. Given that we never really grow up, yet have to make our way in the world, it ends up being thought provoking, intelligent, wise, sad, and illuminating. If that makes it sound too lofty, it's not: it's humane and therefore sometimes funny, and it nails the complexities of adulthood with a steel hammer held gently in very capable hands."-- Ann Beattie, author of Walks with Men and The New Yorker Stories, “Love, family, marriage, illness and money--this is a life story and a love story for our era, beautifully observed, sharply etched by a master storyteller.�Amy Bloom, author of Away and Where the God of Love Hangs Out, “Furiously compelling& Three Stages of Amazement is a fiery, deeply involving book.� Janet Maslin, New York Times, "Love, family, marriage, illness and money--this is a life story and a love story for our era, beautifully observed, sharply etched by a master storyteller."-Amy Bloom, author ofAway and Where the God of Love Hangs Out, "What really got my literary pulse racing is Edgarian's most fascinating creation, Lena's estranged uncle, 79-year-old Cal Rusch& This legendary Silicon Valley mogul -- a diabolically clever cross between Steve Jobs and Donald Trump -- sets the pages on fire every time he shows up." -Jocelyn McClurg, USA Today, "Refreshingly grown-up, this love story follows a couple as they deal with the economic crash, a preemie, and an old flame showing up at just the wrong time." -Good Housekeeping, "In playful, inventive, often hilarious prose, Carol Edgarian conjures a particular moment in America’s recent history and unleashes within it a collision of universal forces: love, desire, ambition, loyalty. I can’t think of a novel that more viscerally evokes the gritty challenge--and casual heroism--of motherhood and marriage."--Jennifer Egan, author of A Visit from the Goon Squad, "Love, family, marriage, illness and money--this is a life story and a love story for our era, beautifully observed, sharply etched by a master storyteller."-Amy Bloom, author of Away and Where the God of Love Hangs Out, "It's been 17 years since Carol Edgarian's best-selling, critically acclaimed first novel, Rise the Eurphrates announced the arrival of a gifted and ambitious young writer. Yet that long pause feels right when you read Three Stages of Amazement , her rueful, wholly adult novel...Edgarian brilliantly evokes the grim daily grind… Superbly crafted, skillfully plotted text… Three Stages of Amazement savors the rich complexity of human beings and the world they negotiate." - Washington Post, "It's been 17 years since Carol Edgarian's best-selling, critically acclaimed first novel, Rise the Eurphrates announced the arrival of a gifted and ambitious young writer.

She's a wonderful writer." -- James Salter, author of Light Years and A Sport and a Pastime, "Edgarian returns with another potent tale&. The panoramic view Edgarian provides of a culture and people dealing with change is impressive." -Booklist, “It’s a great heart in a great author who loves the villains in a story while fully imbuing the heroes with human flaws and hungers& Seldom have such a true portraits of our era, or any era, appeared.� Rick Bass, author of Where the Sea Used to Be and Why I Came West, "Lush and elegant… Edgarian is an exceptionally gifted and generous storyteller." - Associated Press, ""In this gorgeously written, haunting and often hilarious novel, Carol Edgarian conjures a particular moment in America's recent history and unleashes within it a collision of universal forces: love, desire, ambition, loyalty.
