Brood: A Novel
In
Brood, our April Front Porch Book Club selection, author Jackie Polzin’s unnamed narrator grieves the loss of an identity she worries she’ll never get to experience: She yearns to be a mother. A miscarriage has robbed her of this possibility, and the narrator’s world grows small and contained by her grief (an apt feeling as we contemplate emerging back into the world post-pandemic). But then she adopts a brood of chickens.
