Sharon Zink

Opis

When young History professor, Toni Sorrentino, crashes her pickup in the Arizona desert a few days after 9/11 and falls into a coma, long-buried secrets are unearthed in her small home town of Sharonville. Most affected is her guardian, binge-eating Italian restaurateur, Uncle Franco, who has to face the lies he's fed Toni her whole life. However, as Franco embarks on a quest to wake Toni from unconsciousness and tell her the truth, many others in Sharonville's close community find their own pasts brought to light in a way which guarantees that they, or the town itself, will never be the same again. "Beautifully written, moving and compelling; this reminds me of the work of Paul Auster"- Jacqui Lofthouse "Anyone familiar with Sharon Zink's prize-winning short fiction will want to read her excellent frist novel. Intensely moving, thought-provoking, deeply satisfying - don't miss it" - Merric Davidson, The New Writer.
