Anna and Sebastian opens as a much older Anna grapples with aging and a disorienting change in the relationship with her long-time lover, Sebastian. Years earlier he hired a woman who, unlike Anna, was still of child-bearing age. Now, eighteen years later, the daughter, attempting to live alone as an adult, is sexually assaulted and trafficked. At this point, the novel explores the effects of assault and trafficking not only on Sebastian's daughter, but on Anna, who adapted to the unusual paternity, and on Sebastian, who did not bargain for the suffering he experiences as a father.
This collection introduces the reader to an array of characters from the Midwest, Pacific Northwest, California, and the South whose lives lead them toward truths they ignore, resist, and explore - sometimes all at the same time.Often more is revealed about the characters by the things they don't say than by the things they do. Many are painfully naïve as to their own nature.Lee's clean, unembellished and razor-sharp prose provides the perfect vehicle for this astutely observed and often wryly humorous examination of human nature, and the choices people make within the inner passages of their own minds.
