| Summary |
When devastating news shatters the life of six-year-old Harvey, she finds herself in the care of a veteran social worker, Wanda, and alone in the world save for one relative she has never met a disabled felon, haunted by a violent past he can't escape. Moving between past and present, Father s Dayweaves together the story of Harvey s childhood on Long Island and her life as a young woman in Paris.Written in raw, spare prose that personifies the characters, this novel is the journey of two people searching for a future in the ruin of their past. Father's Dayis a meditation on the quiet, sublime power of compassion, and the beauty of simple, everyday things a breakthrough work from one of our most gifted chroniclers of the human heart." |
