Susan Gloss wrote The Curiosities, a novel set in present day times in Madison, Wisconsin. The story is about a woman named Nell. Nell and her husband lost their baby girl when she was born at 20 weeks. They have tried to conceive another child and have even tried IVF with no success. Nell's husband, a law professor at the University, has decided that they have been through enough and should stop trying. Nell isn't on board with that. Nell gets a job to pay for all the IVF bills. Her new job is running an artist in residence program at a house of a recently deceased art patron. While working through her grief of never becoming a mother, Nell sets up the artist residency program with three artists, a photographer, a sculptor and a painter. I enjoyed reading the story about the artists and Nell. The author did a great job describing the streets of Madison in all four seasons of the year.
