Domestic Fiction
Off the Shelf
Some of the most interesting stories happen inside the home. Authors of domestic fiction use the fuel of unspoken tension, rivalries and secrets to twist everyday interactions into complex, intriguing plot lines. Although the action unfolds slowly, these stories lend themselves to engagement because at some level, readers find the scenes familiar.
