A Novel Morning Book Club: Early Morning Riser

Early Morning Riser by Katherine Heiny

Jane, 26, moves to a small town in northern Michigan in 2002 to teach second grade. She immediately falls for Duncan, a charming if not entirely reliable woodworker who looks “like the Brawny towel man,” has been divorced for 10 years (but still does the household maintenance his ex’s current husband doesn’t enjoy doing), and about whom Jane’s best friend, the mandolin-toting Freida, warns her, “He’s had an awful lot of girlfriends.” The book follows Jane and Duncan through the next 17 years, stopping in to investigate their various breakups and marriages, with ample attention paid to dysfunctional dinner parties and school field trips run amok.
