Synopsis
WINNER OF THE PEN/FAULKNER AWARD - In this stunning novel, one man traces the tangled histories of three very different families--from the New York Times bestselling author of The Tortilla Curtain "Boyle has emerged as one of the most inventive and verbally exuberant writers of his generation."-- The New York Times Haunted by the burden of his family's traitorous past, woozy with pot, cheap wine, and sex, and disturbed by a frighteningly real encounter with some family ghosts, Walter Van Brunt is about to have a collision with history. It will lead Walter to search for his lost father. And it will send the story into the past of the Hudson River Valley, from the 1960s back to the anticommunist riots of the 1940s to the late seventeenth century, where the long-hidden secrets of three families--the aristocratic Van Warts, the Native American Mohonks, and Walter's own ancestors, the Van Brunts--will be revealed., WINNER OF THE PEN/FAULKNER AWARD * In this stunning novel, one man traces the tangled histories of three very different families--from the New York Times bestselling author of The Tortilla Curtain "Boyle has emerged as one of the most inventive and verbally exuberant writers of his generation."-- The New York Times Haunted by the burden of his family's traitorous past, woozy with pot, cheap wine, and sex, and disturbed by a frighteningly real encounter with some family ghosts, Walter Van Brunt is about to have a collision with history.

    Unfortunately I received a damaged book, the item and the package both were damaged and it was clearly evident its appearance that it happened during transit. The seller was very understanding and gave me a full refund for the damaged book, though it was no fault of their own. Other than the damage, the book was as described, the quality and condition aside from the damaged spot was like new. The cost of the book was reasonable. I would definitely purchase from the seller again.

    Although this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
