Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. BC4 - A tight, clean, sound copy in color wraps with very minor overall shelf wear with some light creasing on the back cover at the extreme top left corner plus the usual library labels and stamps on the spine wrapping around onto the back, inside surface of the front cover, front endpaper, and top outside paper edges plus there is clear plastic tape reinforcing the spine. A family saga about how secrets make for sickness. There is a labyrinth of devastating family secrets and taboos. The core story involving two brothers in love with the same woman. In the first generation the mother loved the younger brother but married the older one for security. Years later their daughter also marries a brother who is her parents' pick. The resulting triangle boomerangs when the daughter returns home after seven years intending to come to terms with her past and to search for a child she was forced to give up for adoption. By the author of "The Ebony Tree" and "A Place Called Home." 244p. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Ex-Library.
