Sarah Braunstein’s Bad Animals follows Maeve Cosgrove, a forty-something woman in the midst of change.
She’s an empty nester who loves her job at her local library, but she’s been accused of spying on a teenager sneaking a boy into the public restroom. What follows is Maeve’s journey through unemployment, infatuation, loss, and even adultery.
I recently spoke with Sarah Braunstein about Maeve’s unreliability, how perspective shapes a novel and more.
