Raw and uncompromising, "The Best Way You Know How" tells the story of Hannah and her marriage to Daniel. Exploring themes of love and isolation, guilt and responsibility, empathy and misunderstanding, it lays bare the potential for hurt and recrimination within a misconceived marriage. And yet, it also explores the extreme tenderness and feeling that can emerge in spite of such mistakes. In beautifully bruised and searching prose, Christine Pountney dissects the emotions, desires and contradictions of Hannah in a work of immense feeling and power.
