About This Item
Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 2003. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. With unclipped dust jacket free from nicks and tears. No inscription very clean throughout. A Haunting surprising and stunning debut novel set amidst the ice and snow of a New England Island. When James Jack finds Marguerite Deo, the woman he has always known as his Aunt, lying dead outside his cabin, he is forced to confront the mystery of her death. An unexpected tale unfolds, moving in backward glances from the present to a windswept New England Island at the turn of the century, and to New Orleans during the depression. At the heart of the story are a forbidden affair and a violent crime kept secret for years, and above all, Marguerite's relationship with a little boy, James Jack, whom she adopts after his parents death in a terrible accident. Moving and tender this is a haunting novel of secrets and memories
