| Description | Douglas Kennedy's new novel bears his trademark ability to write serious popular fiction. America in the Sixties was an era of radical upheaval - of civil rights protests and anti-war marches; of sexual liberation and hallucinogenic drugs. More tellingly, it was a time when you weren't supposed to trust anyone over the age of thirty; when, if you were young, you rebelled against your parents and their conservative values. But not Hannah Buchan. Hannah is a great disappointment to her famous radical father and painter mother. Because instead of mounting the barricades and embracing this age of profound social change, she wants nothing more than to marry her doctor boyfriend and raise a family in a small town. Hannah gets her wish. But once installed as the doctor's wife in a nowhere corner of Maine, boredom sets in... until an unforeseen moment of personal rebellion changes everything. Especially as Hannah is forced into breaking the law. For decades, this one transgression in an otherwise faultless life remains buried. But then, in the charged atmosphere of America after 9/11, her secret comes out and her life goes into freefall. her own way in the shifting currents of her time. But it's also an intriguing portrait of the intricacies of a long marriage, the ongoing guilt of parenthood, the perpetual tension between familial responsibility and individual freedom, and the divisive debate between liberal and conservative values that so engulfs the United States today. | | Release Date | 2005 | | Author | Douglas Kennedy | | Format | Dimensions 16.5x24.0x4.0 cm
