A Window Opens

In A Window Opens, bestselling author Elisabeth Egan brings readers Alice Pearse, a Glamour magazine editor and the heroine of our social-media-obsessed age. Like her fictional forebears Bridget Jones and Kate Reddy, Alice must play many roles (which she never refers to as “wearing many hats” and wishes you wouldn’t, either). She is a mostly happily married mother of three, an attentive daughter, an ambivalent dog owner, a part-time editor, a loyal neighbor, and a Zen commuter. But when her husband makes a radical career change, Alice is ready to lean in—and she knows exactly how lucky she is to land a job at Scroll, the hip young start-up which promises to be the future of reading.
