"In a Florida almost claustrophobic with life, Georgie's marriage has stagnated. But there's no room to attend to it, as dangers small and large crowd in: teeth break, her son can't find his words, there's something in her husband's eye, termites swarm the neighborhood, and she finds a dead boy in the burning woods. And then -- there's Jason. As the reprecussions of her discovery of the body, and her affair, come to land, Georgie digs deep, examining the undercurrents of her actions with curiousity, humour, and cutting emotional intelligence. Arms & Legs is a deliriously insightful excavation of love, desire, parenthood, and relationships at their best, and worst."--Publisher.
