When the American Fantasy cruise ship sets sail for a four-day themed voyage, aboard are all five members of a famous 1990s boyband, and three thousand women who have worshipped them since their youth. Newly divorced and with an empty nest, Annie is on board as a lark to appease her sister. Once a diehard fan of the band as a teen, she now feels out of place amid the sea of bedazzling t-shirts bearing the singers’ faces. Yet when the lights go down, the cocktails are poured and the band starts singing, Annie finally reconnects to a long-submerged part of herself. As she encounters Keith, the band’s slightly depressed, fifty-something lead singer – not just a celebrity but someone clearly in need of a friend – she feels like anything is possible. But is the connection between Annie and Keith just a fantasy? Or is this the beginning of a new chapter for them both?Full of laugh-out-loud reflections on fame, nostalgia, marriage and growing up, American Fantasy celebrates the magic of revisiting our youth, and the even greater magic of starting anew. ---PRAISE FOR EMMA STRAUB'Has all the pleasures of reading one of Anne Tyler's compelling family portraits' NEW YORK TIMES'Nostalgic, wise, funny, and filled with love' GABRIELLE ZEVIN on This Time Tomorrow'Smart, compelling, irresistible' LIANE MORIARTY on Modern Lovers'Her warmth and sense of humour electrify every page' NEW YORK MAGAZINE
