<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Joan Didion's electrifying first novel begins with a murder on the bank of the Sacramento River--a murder that is at once an act of vengeance and a blind attempt to shore up a disintegrating marriage. Out of that act, Didion constructs a tragic and beautifully nuanced work of fiction.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b><b><b><b><b><b><b>The iconic writer's electrifying first novel is</b> </b></b>a story of marriage, murder and betrayal that only she could tell with such nuance, sympathy, and suspense--f</b>rom the bestselling, award-winning author of <i>The Year of Magical Thinking</i> and <i>Let Me Tell You What I Mean.<br></i></b></b></b><br>Everett McClellan and his wife, Lily, are the great-grandchildren of pioneers, and what happens to them is a tragic epilogue to the pioneer experience--a haunting portrait of a marriage whose wrong turns and betrayals are at once absolutely idiosyncratic and a razor-sharp commentary on the history of California.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>There hasn't been another American writer of Joan Didion's quality since Nathanael West.... [She has] a vision as bleak and precise as Eliot's. --John Leonard, <i>The New York Times</i></p><p>A slant of vision that is arresting and unique . . . Didion might be an observer from another planet--one so edgy and alert that she ends up knowing more about our own world than we know ourselves.<i> </i>--Anne Tyler, <i>New Republic</i></p><p>A beautifully told first novel . . . written in prose both witty and imaginative. --<i>The Times Literary Supplement </i>(London)</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>JOAN DIDION is the author of five novels, ten books of nonfiction, and a play.
