Description
Andre Dubus III's first novel in a decade is a masterpiece of thrilling tension and heartrending empathy. A deeply compelling new novel explores how the wounds of the past afflict the people we become, and probes the limits of recovery and absolution. Forty years ago, a shocking act of violence drove a father and daughter apart. Now, the father sets out to reconnect with his long-lost child, while she struggles to find peace and love in her life. Meanwhile, their maternal grandmother tries to come to terms with her own past and find solace in an antique shop. Cathartic and affirming, this novel is a powerful exploration of the human experience, written with precise observations of character that have earned Andre Dubus III widespread acclaim.
