Summary
The author of The Feast of Love serves up a new novel about a seemingly happy domestic scene that is turned upside down by the obsessive attentions of troubled sixteen-year-old boy. 75,000 first printing.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Five Oaks, Michigan is not exactly where Saul and Patsy meant to end up. Both from the East Coast, they met in college, fell in love, and settled down to married life in the Midwest. Saul is Jewish and a compulsively inventive worrier; Patsy is gentile and cheerfully pragmatic. On Saulâs initiative (and to his continual dismay) they have moved to this small townâa place so devoid of irony as to be virtually âa museum of earlier American feelingsââwhere he has taken a job teaching high school.
Soon this brainy and guiltily happy couple will find children have become a part of their lives, first their own baby daughter and then an unloved, unlovable boy named Gordy Himmelman. It is Gordy who will throw Saul and Patsyâs lives into disarray with an inscrutable act of violence. As timely as a news flash yet informed by an immemorial understanding of human character, Saul and Patsy is a genuine miracle.
From the Trade Paperback edition.
