Synopsis

Richard Haddaway's novel is a warm-hearted, realistic, multi-generational story of the Beckwith clan, a Texas oil family dominated by its wealthy patriarch who does his best to mold his children and grandchildren to his narrow views of propriety and restraint. His grandson Stephen watches in grief as his father's life withers under Granddaddy's long shadow. Stephen's own life takes a turn into the same alcoholism and despair that ruined his father. Haddaway's narrative moves through joy and loss, failure and courage. Set near Fort Worth, Texas, the novel takes place from the mid-1950s to the mid-1990s. Where the River Bends is a much-expanded version of Haddaway's first novel, Our Island Home (Latitudes Press, 1990).

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

RICHARD HADDAWAY is a third-generation Texan whose father and grandfather were independent oilmen. He grew up in Fort Worth among an odd lot of literate eccentrics. In addition to his degree in journalism from the University of Texas at Austin, he is also proud of his certifications from the Bradley School of Bartending and the J. P. Elwood School of Taxidermy. A longtime newspaperman, Haddaway worked at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram for more than twenty years in various capacities - as a copy editor, travel editor, and columnist. Currently he is fiction editor of Boys' Life magazine. He lives with his wife, Kay, a CPA, in Fort Worth. They have one grown son, James.
