'An elegiac farewell to the golden groves of childhood, a slim, sad coming-of-age tale in the great tradition of Carson McCullers' The Member of the Wedding or even Salinger's Catcher in the Rye... Prose modulates beautifully from acute grief to a more ambient tristesse, littering her tale with sharp observations about the way that loss punctuates the everyday for Nico and her distraught parents.' Sarah Churchwell, Guardian 'Books of the Year'

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "With a dazzling mix of directness and metaphor, Prose captures the centrifugal and isolating force of grief. . . . "[Goldengrove is] a moving meditation on how, out of the painful passing of innocence and youth, sexuality and identity can miraculously emerge." -- Los Angeles TimesAn emotionally powerful novel about adolescent love and loss from Francine Prose, the New York Times bestselling author of Reading Like a Writer and A Changed Man. After the sudden death of her beloved older sister, thirteen-year-old Nico finds her life on New England's idyllic Mirror Lake irrevocably altered. Left alone to grope toward understanding, she falls into a seductive, dangerous relationship with her sister's boyfriend. Over one haunted summer, Nico faces that life-changing moment when children realize their parents can no longer help them as she experiences the mystery of loss and recovery. Still, for all the darkness at its heart, Goldengrove is radiant with the lightness of summer and charged by the restless sexual tension of adolescence. From a "New York Times"-bestselling author comes an emotionally powerful novel about love and loss. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
