From the Publisher
Praise for A Home at the End of the World:
"Lyrical...memorable and accomplished." --The New York Times Book Review
"Novels don't come more deeply felt than Michael Cunningham's extraordinary four-character study... The writing...is a constant pleasure, flowing and yet dense with incisive images and psychological nuance." --Matthew Gilbert, The Boston Globe
"Cunningham writes with power and delicacy.... We come to feel that we know Jonathan, Bobby, and Clare as if we lived with them; yet each one retains the mystery that in people is called soul, and in fiction is called art." --Richard Eder, The Los Angeles Times
"Once in a great while, there appears a novel so spellbinding in its beauty and sensitivity that the reader devours it nearly whole, in great greedy gulps, and feels stretched sore afterwards, having been expanded and filled. Such a book is Michael Cunningham's A Home at the End of the World." --Sherry Rosenthal, San Diego Tribune

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. This signed copy is in perfect condition but the dust jacket is slightly torn at the upper back corner on the spine and the jacket shows signs of wear on the upper and lower edges. There is a sticker on the back right over the publisher's white rectangular sticker, and it shows the UPC code which is smudged. The color of the jacket is grayish blue as opposed to what appears to be the original color, which is more purplish-gray. Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 46
