Rebecca Flint Marx
In the summer of 1993, 15-year-old Ellie Stein watches her unflappable mother drop and scatter an entire popcorn canister after hearing a news report about the death of a photographer. Jessamyn has never said much about her past life in New York, but her reaction prompts Ellie to embark on a quest to learn about the dead photographer, and to unearth a story she never imagined.
In the spring of 1973, 21-year-old Jessamyn Stein hitchhikes from Michigan to New York and finds herself working in the music clubs of lower Manhattan and then as a model. But as Jessamyn tries to make her way in the city, violence marks her days. She finds unexpected reprieve in a charming fixer and dealer, who rescues her from a mugging. But she soon realizes he comes with dangers of his own.
Set between Ann Arbor, Michigan, in the 1990s and 1970s New York, and culminating in the historic summer of 1977 blackout, Small Kingdoms is an extraordinary dual coming of age novel for fans of Coco Mellors, Lily King, and Ann Packer.

An immersive coming-of-age [that] combines a mesmerizing portrait of a mother’s fierce love with the addictive suspense of a daughter’s search for the truth about the father she’s never known. A gorgeous, dazzling treat of a book.
The moving story of a young woman looking for meaning in 1970s New York City, and a daughter searching for answers twenty years later. A page-turning mystery wrapped in an intimate family saga, Marx's debut is both sharp and sweet.
Stunning . . . a welcome return to the 1970’s and the 1990’s, a book that explores a complex mother and daughter relationship with evocative prose . . . A novel that you won’t want to put down and one that you’ll be so happy to have read.
An immersive, electric, and evocative novel, Small Kingdoms spans decades, cities, blackouts, records, violence, sex, and unexpected motherhood, as two women try to find themselves and one another amidst the pressures and expectations of the world outside. Gorgeously written and immaculately paced, I loved every second that I spent inside this book.
You don't need to love Jessamyn Stein and her teenage daughter Ellie to want to be in their world, but how could you not? In Small Kingdoms, Rebecca Flint Marx expertly and effortlessly delves into mythologies, the personal ones we shape for our lives and those of a grander scale – the glamour and grit of downtown Manhattan in 1970s, one of the most fabled times in New York City. (Though the '90s come close, too). The kind of characters here are as rare as they are perceptively drawn. As Marx unravels the mystery at the heart of this novel, she reveals the way we are mysteries to each other and even to ourselves.
