About This Item
From a luminous storyteller, a highly anticipated new novel about the american family writ large. Golden Richards, husband to four wives, father to twenty-eight children, is having the mother of all midlife crises. His construction business is failing; his family has grown into an overpopulated mini-dukedom beset with insurrection and rivalry; and he is done in with grief: due to the accidental death of a daughter and the stillbirth of a son, he has come to doubt the capacity of his own heart. Brady Udall, one of our finest fiction writers, tells a tragicomic story of a deeply faithful man who, crippled by grief.
Synopsis
"How does a shy, lonely boy from the backwaters of Louisiana become an apostle of God, the husband to four wives, the father to twenty-eight children? Easier than you think." Golden Richards is the rather bumbling patriarch of quite a clan, set in America in 1978. His construction business is in jeopardy, family life is chaotic, and he's beginning a doozy of a midlife crisis. This dramatic story is marbled with a sense of humor and humanity that brings these characters in life.
