Rosellen Brown Before and After
Dell 0440216540 / 9780440216544 PAPERBACK Very Good
0440216540 From Publishers Weekly nBrown's riveting novel about a family torn apart by a son's murder of his girlfriend--a six-week PW bestseller in cloth--scrutinizes ethical principles in crisis situations. nCopyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. n nFrom Library Journal nThis fascinating novel, by the author of such critically acclaimed works as Tender Mercies ( LJ 11/15/78. o.p.) and Civil Wars ( LJ 4/15/84), concerns a family's struggle to hold itself together after a teenaged son murders his girlfriend. The story is told alternately from the viewpoint of the boy's mother, father, and sister. The story moves from initial shock and denial (our son could never have done this!) through anxiety over his disappearance and the difficulties of his capture and incarceration to the murder trial itself and finally to life afterwards, when the family has had to relocate to another part of the country to avoid cruel gossip in the small New Hampshire town where these events took place. The family members are not only at odds with the community but frequently at odds with one another as well. Deep questions of loyalty, honesty, and love are forced to the surface in this psychologically riveting tale. n- Jessica Grim, Oberlin Coll. Lib., Ohio Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc
