“O’Nan is a skilled writer who views the lives of his working-class characters with unsentimental compassion…The novel’s elegiac tone is perfectly controlled, and angst and the lingo of male adolescence are rendered with wry fidelity.”

Publishers Weekly

Arthur Parkinson is fourteen during the dreary winter of 1974, experiencing the confusing pangs of adolescence and the pain of his parents' divorce. His world is shattered further by the sudden and violent death of Annie Marchand, his beloved former babysitter. Narrated by the adult Arthur, who continues to be haunted by memories, the story of a young man's unraveling family and the circumstances leading up to Annie's death form the backdrop for an intimate tale of the price of love and belonging, while told in a spare, translucent, and unexpectedly tender voice.

    This is not the best novel of the year but I was able to follow it...

    Not one of my most favorite but it was interesting. I don't really identify with these people that can't get their lives together and then be so self-riotous that they feel it is their duty to take control of a situation that is not their responsibility. I hope that was vague enough not to give anything away. In any case. The descriptions, narration and plot line went along well enough. Performances by these narrators are amazing to me. To be able to keep track of the character and gender, bravo! Thank you for your talents. You make these stories easy to follow.... most of the time ;)
