Through her fiction, Shipstead gains entry into exclusive worlds and trains her opera glasses on private social rituals, as well as behind-the-scenes hanky panky. After reading that novel, I likened the then 20-something-year-old Shipstead to "Edith Wharton with a millennial generation edge." The comparison remains sound. She did just that -astonish me - with her debut novel of 2012, called Seating Arrangements. The title of Maggie Shipstead's second novel is: Astonish Me. Your purchase helps support NPR programming.
