National Book Award Finalist: A lonely Southerner forges a surprising bond with a New York family in this âbrilliantâ novel by the author of The Moviegoer (Time). Â Will Barrett has never felt at peace. After moving from his native South to New York City, Willâs most meaningful human connections come through the lens of a telescope in Central Park, from which he views the comings and goings of the eccentric Vaught family. Â But Willâs days as a spectator end when he meets the Vaught patriarch and accepts a job in the Mississippi Delta as caretaker for the familyâs ailing son, Jamie. Once there, he is confronted not only by his personal demons, but also his growing love for Jamieâs sister, Kitty, and a deepening relationship with the Vaught family that will teach him the true meaning of home. |
