Summary
Tells the stories of a boy's first dance, a dying man's last wishes, a sickly observer, a family reunion, farm life, and an alcoholic's decline
Amazon.com description: Product Description: These superbly crafted stories reveal an astonishing range, with settings that vary from a farm on the Canadian prairies to Bloomsbury in London, from a high-rise apartment to a mine-shaft. Vanderhaeghe has the uncanny ability to show us the world through the eyes of an eleven-year-old boy as convincingly as he reveals it through the eyes of an old man approaching senility. Moving from the hilarious farce of teenage romance all the way to the numbing tragedy of life in a ward for incurables, these twelve stories inspire belief, admiration, and enjoyment, and come together to form a vibrant chronicle of human experience from a gifted observer of lifeâs joys and tribulations. This is Guy Vanderhaegheâs brilliant first book of fiction.
