<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The compelling novel that began Shirley Jackson's legendary career</b> <p/>Pepper Street is a really nice, safe California neighborhood. The houses are tidy and the lawns are neatly mowed. Of course, the country club is close by, and lots of pleasant folks live there. The only problem is they knocked down the wall at the end of the street to make way for a road to a new housing development. Now, that's not good--it's just not good at all. Satirically exploring what happens when a smug suburban neighborhood is breached by awful, unavoidable truths, <i> The Road Through the Wall</i> is the tale that launched Shirley Jackson's heralded career. <p/>For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
