A profound, realistic and beautifully written story of a foster family that I simply could not put down. Written by the author of The Orphans of Race Point - at real favorite at our bookshop.
The story of an American family in Bangkok in the 1970s and the impact of the son's disappearance. Brilliant writing, complex and nuanced characters and a vivid sense of place made this story impossible to put down.
The writing is so powerful and sparse - almost poetic. This is a story of nature at the brink of destruction, of great love and great loss. Brilliant, brilliant book!
18th century Cape Cod comes alive through this wonderfully written story of a whaler's wife, who loses many of her rights after her husband is lost at sea. Defying convention, she stays in the home she shared with her husband of 20 years - lving in the 1/3 she still has rights to. This is one of our bookshop's best selling novels and a great read!
