What does it mean to transform? How can we reckon with the holding and releasing required of us in this life?"With The Peacock Room, Catie Jarvis captures the inner world of her blessed, damaged, and always endearing characters with wit and intelligence.

This is a strange, satisfying, and terrific first book by a promising young writer."--Tom Barbash, author of Stay Up With Me"Nearly every sentence in Catie Jarvis's emotional debut shimmers with beauty, even when evoking moments of quiet sorrow and pain. Ms. Jarvis's writing is exquisite and the compelling narrative she crafts is unforgettable."--Aimee Phan, author of We Should Never Meet
