Publisher's Synopsis
Over the course of his career, New York Times bestselling novelist Chris Bohjalian has taken readers on a spectacular array of journeys. Midwives brought us to an isolated Vermont farmhouse on an icy winters night and a home birth gone tragically wrong. The Double Bind perfectly conjured the Roaring Twenties on Long Islandand a young social workers descent into madness. And Skeletons at the Feast chronicled the last six months of World War Two in Poland and Germany with nail-biting authenticity. As The Washington Post Book World has noted, Bohjalian writes the sorts of books people stay awake all night to finish.
