LONGLISTED FOR THE GORDON BURN PRIZE 2017From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sportswriter comes a deeply personal account of his parents an intimate portrait of American mid-twentieth century life, and a celebration of family love Richard Fords parents volunteered little about their early lives and he rarely asked.Later, he pieced their stories together from anecdote, history and the occasional photograph, frozen moments linking him to another time. Edna Akin, a dark-eyed Arkansas beauty whose convent education was cut short by her itinerant parents, fell in love aged only seventeen. Parker Ford was a tall country boy with a warm, hesitant smile, who was working at a grocery in Hot Springs.

Exploring childrens changing perception of their parents, he also reflects on the impact of loss and devotion. Written with the intelligence, precision and humanity for which Ford is renowned, Between Them is both a sons great act of love and a redeeming meditation on family.
