Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Children of divorced parents, sisters Sarah and Emily Grimes are observed over four decades, and grow into two very different women. Sarah is stable and stalwart, settling into an unhappy marriage. Emily is precocious and independent, struggling with one unsatisfactory love affair after another. Richard Yates's acclaimed novel is about how both women struggle to overcome their tarnished family's past, and how both finally reach for some semblance of renewal.
Review:
"[Yates] has two great technical gifts. First, for vivid drama: realistic narrative and dialogue that is both crisp and rich. And second, for direct, uncluttered eloquence: a prose of great clarity and perceptiveness. When these work together--usually at a moment of collapse--the effect is shattering....The style of EASTER PARADE is a little more detached and the book is funnier than Yates's earlier work, occsionally opening up a satirical distance between the authorial voice and the characters....On the whole, though, EASTER PARADE is a theatre of unrelieved humiliation, disappointment, and pain....Though executed with considerable inventiveness and insight, a numb blankness dominates this book, as it does Yates's others."
Theo Tait, London Review of Books, 02/06/2003
Review:"...at once cruel and sweet, heartbreaking and brutal."
Stewart O'Nan, Boston Review, 10/01/1999

Book Description: Picador. 1 Paperback(s), 2001. soft. Book Condition: New. At the beginning of Richard Yates's 1976 novel—one that many consider his finest, next to his National Book Award finalist Revolutionary Road—the reader meets the Grimes sisters in 1930, when Sarah is nine and Emily is five. We are told, "Neither of the Grimes sisters would have a happy life, and looking back it always seemed that the trouble began with their parents' divorce." Over the next four decades, Sarah and Emily develop into entirely different women: Sarah settles into an unfulfilling suburban marriage and motherhood, while Emily remains resolutely independent, struggling with one unsatisfactory love affair after another. Yet from their very different paths, both finally reach for some kind of renewal."Yates writes powerfully and enters completely and effortlessly into the lives of his characters. A spare yet wrenching tale."—NYTBR 229. Bookseller Inventory # 30564 Bookseller & Payment Information | More Books from this Seller | Ask Bookseller a Question |
