Présentation de l'éditeur :
Willem Fremont has spent his adult life held tight inside the clenched fist of panic disorder. Determined to break the pattern - even as he reaches his twilight years - Willem returns to his childhood home in Purvis, Mississippi, where he believes the solution lies. There he discovers his father's acreage in the hands of the idiosyncratic Till family. Eilene, mother of Sonny and Bruno and "no bigger than a dress form," pretends to be deaf as a way of dealing with her grown boys - each of whom suffers from inertia. Sonny, hugely fat, perennially unemployed, and looking for love, is building a shrimp boat in his mother's land-locked backyard. Bruno, who has returned from Vietnam with a spinal injury and wearing a brace, escapes into the glossy pages of old National Geographics while his wife Leah tries to find a small measure of comfort in the day to day tending of their farm.
From these unsettled lives comes a story of reconciliation against all odds and a vision of rekindled love as well as a compassionate portrait of small town life that celebrates the unusual, embraces the unwanted and opens its arms to all lost souls in search of a home.

Description du livre Trade Paperback. Etat : Near Fine. Trade Paperback. 399 pages. *** PUBLISHING DETAILS: Flamingo, Australia, 2003. *** CONDITION: This book is in near fine condition. Lightly tanned pages. Remainder mark on page edges. *** ABOUT THIS BOOK: Willem Fremont is returning to his family lands after spending decades in Colorado. For Willem, life is a constant battle against a nervous affliction that can lead to embarrassing public scenes with waitresses, bar tenders and public officials. He dates the problem from the night his house and surrounding land dramatically fell out from under him into a sinkhole. He escaped with his life, but fled the land that his family had held for generations. Now the land is held by the Till family - presided over by the contrary, embittered matriarch Eileen. Eileen's two sons are the bane of her life - slothful, overweight, secretive Sonny, who lives with her in the family home; and troubled Bruno, whose injury in Vietnam has affected his marriage to the restless Leah and his work on the farm. Melinda Haynes brings these disparate characters together in a tightly woven tale of failed hopes and unexpected possibilities, set against the deeply felt tensions and intrigues of small-town rural life. *** Quantity Available: 1.
