About This Item
In good condition - ex library - has markings from use - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.
Postwar newlyweds Chic and Diane Waldbesser are determined to carve out a life for themselves and their son, Lomax, in Middleville, Illinois. But when ten-year-old Lomax dies, Chic and Diane take refuge in religion, haiku poetry, doll collecting, food and bowling as they try to make sense of their overwhelming grief and guilt.
Meanwhile Chic's older brother, Buddy, struggles to make a life with his exotic, naïve wife Lijy - who is hiding a devastating secret of her own - while attempting to introduce the residents of Middleville to vegetarianism and Ayurveda. (An unusual endeavour in mid-century Middle America.)
