description: It's the summer of 1959 and the well-trimmed lawns of Sunnylakes wilt under the California sun.At some point during the long long afternoon Joyce Haney a seemingly happy housewife and mother vanishes from her home leaving behind only two terrified young children and a bloodstain on the kitchen floor.With the stifling heat of Tangerine and the gripping pace of Little Deaths The Long Long Afternoon is at once a page-turning mystery and an intoxicating vision of the ways in which women everywhere are diminished silenced and ultimately underestimated.
