About This Item
New York:: William H. Morrow,, (2000). SIGNED hardcover first edition -. Fine in fine dust jacket.. First printing. The third novel by this highly acclaimed writer. "A series of long telephone conversations make up the bulk of this beguiling, episodic novel. One evening in 1977, 19-year-old Fran receives an unexpected call from her mother, Gloria, who has been gone for four and a half years, leaving Fran alone in their Ontario farmhouse. Barely saying hello, Gloria launches into the beguiling history of the Mourne family, back to her mysterious great-grandmother, who never married yet bore 14 children on the Ontario farm. . . Like the immense titular house, the novel sprawls untidily but its absurd charms, entrancing characters and sumptuous language more than make up for its shapelessness. Contributing to the inventive spirit, b&w photographs of "family members" and increasingly annotated family trees accompany the text." (PW review) SIGNED on the title page. Laid in is a promotional postcard with a handwritten signed brief note from Schulman. 301 pp.
