Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Soon to be a major motion picture from Warner Independent starring Sam Rockwell and Kate Beckinsale.
Arthur Parkinson is fourteen during the dreary winter of 1974. Enduring the pain of his parents' divorce, his world is shattered when his beloved former babysitter, Annie, falls victim to a tragic series of events. The interlinking stories of Arthur's unraveling family, and of Annie's fate, form the backdrop of this intimate tale about the price of love and belonging, told in a spare, translucent, and unexpectedly tender voice. Review:"A thriller of the heart, at once suspenseful and emotionally absorbing." Newsday Review:"[An] assured and affecting first novel....The novel's elegiac tone is perfectly controlled, and angst and the lingo of male adolescence are rendered with wry fidelity." Publishers Weekly Review:"[A] beautifully composed and deeply felt tale of domestic tragedy....O'Nan tells this sorrowful tale without a shred of sensationalism, ushering us quietly into the squeezed hearts of his characters, respectful of their traumas and awed by how limited our choices in life truly are." Booklist Review:"Beautiful and harrowing....An exquisite double helix, each of its two strands a tale of an unraveling family, curving in tenuous but essential relation to the other." Elle Review:"Stunning....A truthful and deeply sad picture of the American hinterland, which has lost religion and maybe also lost its capacity for sustained love....Wonderfully effective....O'Nan sees with a vengeance." The New York Times Book Review Review:"Haunting...a whole that's much more than the sum of its parts....Moving, beautifully constructed, morally complex." The Washington Post Book World Review:"Shines with a cold, stark light....Strangely beautiful." Los Angeles Times About the AuthorStewart O'Nan's critically acclaimed fiction includes The Names of the Dead, A World Away, A Prayer for the Dying, and his most recent novel, Last Night at the Lobster.
