About This Item
NY: Putnam, 2001 'Blue Diary' explores through Alice Hoffman's unique brand of American magic realism, the meltdown of a marriage and the American Dream. This mesmerizing novel of secrets revealed, redemption, and pain, grows ever darker from its blissful opening of a husband and wife making love on a summer morning. In the small quiet town of Monroe, "where there are more apples than trees," Jorie Ford loves her husband, Ethan, their beautiful house, and their fine son. When a secret from the past is revealed, Jorie and Ethan's idyllic existence disintegrates into something much darker and more painful than neither could have imagined. A haunting and beautifully-written journey beneath a shattered American Dream. Light push to tail of spine.. First Edition- First Printing. Hard Cover. As New/As New.
Synopsis
From the New York Times best-selling author of The Dovekeepers , a New York Times Bestseller and Notable Book. The courage to face the unthinkable is at the core of this magnificent new novel. How do we manage to confront the truths in our lives and find forgiveness in the most unforgiving of circumstances? How do we love truly and deeply in a world that is as brutal as it is beautiful? When Ethan Ford fails to show up for work on a brilliant summer morning, none of his neighbors would guess that for more than thirteen years, he has been running from his past. His true nature has been locked away, as hidden as his real identity. But sometimes locks spring open, and the devastating truths of Ethan Ford's history shatter the small-town peace of Monroe, affecting family and friends alike. This deeply felt and compelling novel makes it clear why Alice Hoffman has been called "one of the best writers we have today" ( Cleveland Plain Dealer ). Honest, shattering, seductive, and ultimately healing, Blue Diary is an unforgettable novel by a writer who tells "truths powerful enough to break a reader's heart" ( Time ).
