About This Book
A woman artist in Los Angeles plans a solo road trip, but on the first day of her journey stops at a random motel on the edge of the city and decorates it obsessively, staying for a month. Told with wild originality and frank female desire, All Fours is about the ways middle age transforms—and liberates—women.
