Présentation de l'éditeur
In her highly acclaimed debut novel, the bestselling author of Shelter introduces the Hampsons, an ordinary, small-town American family profoundly affected by the extraordinary events of history. Here is a stunning chronicle that begins with the Depression and ends with the Vietnam War, revealed in the thoughts, dreams, and memories of each family member. Mitch struggles to earn a living as Jeans becomes the main breadwinner, working to coplete college and raise the family. While the couple fight to keep their marriage intact, their daughter Danner and son Billy forge a sibling bond of uncommon strength. When Billy goes off to Vietnam, Danner becomes the sole bond linking her family, whose dissolution mirrors the fractured state of America in the 1960s. Deeply felt and vividly imagined, this lyrical novel is "among the wisest of a generation to grapple with a war that maimed us all" ( The Village Voice), by a master of contemporary fiction.

Cloth. Etat : Good. Etat de la jaquette : Good. First Edition. This book is the chronicle of an American family moving inexorably towards dissolution, an unforgettable re-shaping of America's contemporary myths. A succession of voices, Jean, Mitch, Danner and Billy, moves a spellbinding narrative through the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's towards the national cataclysm of Vietnam. The years of which they speak come to life, unfolding a poignant story of love and sorrow, of ordinary Americans in the palm of time and destiny. 'Jayne Anne Phillips' novel conveys as no other fiction has yet done, the meeting of a generation of small-town Americans with their first impact of the outside world - the Vietnam war. Top corner of cloth bumped. Slight shelf wear to top edge of D/J. N° de réf. du vendeur 020162
