"What if Molly Bloom took center stage? What if she lived in suburban America? It is June 16, 1999, in Dublin, Ohio, and Molly Bluhm wanders while her husband, Leo, tends to a strict and busy professor's schedule. As Leo's day mirrors the events of Joyce's Bloomsday, Molly's is a nearly clean slate. On the surface of her thoughts, she wonders: Will he remember their anniversary? And how many hints should she give him?
As Molly and Leo circle each other throughout the day, Kitchen illuminates the scope of their life together, detail by detail. Molly hums Irish tunes, watches a neighbor's children, meets an old love; Leo is occupied with his star pupil, young women at the tennis court, his aging father. Both - if differently - mourn the loss of their four-year-old son eight years ago."--BOOK JACKET.
