These linked stories take a trenchant look at the flawed people of Old Cranbury, incisive tales that reveal at each turn the unseen battles we play out behind drawn blinds, the creeping truths from which we distract ourselves, and the massive dreams we haul quietly with us and hold close. 520 $a John likes to arrive first. He enjoys standing quietly with a house before his clients arrive, and today, although he feels pinned beneath an invisible weight, he resolves to savor this solitary moment. It's one of those overhauled ranches so common to Old Cranbury these days, swollen and dressed to resemble a colonial. White, of course, with ornamental shutters and latches pretending to hold them open. A close echo of its renovated sisters on Whistle Hill Road, garnished with hostas and glitzed with azaleas. He has seen too many of these to count. A man strikes an under-the-table deal with a surgeon to spend a few quiet seconds closer to his wife than he's ever been; a young soon-to-be mother looks on in paralyzing astonishment as her husband walks away from a twenty-year career in advertising at the urging of his spirit animal; an elderly artist risks more than he knows when he's commissioned by his newly-arrived neighbors to produce the work of a lifetime. 505 0 $a Ground fault -- The wonder garden -- Afterglow -- The umbrella bird -- Swarm -- Visa -- The virginals -- Floortime -- Sentry -- Elevations -- Aether -- Moon roof -- Wampum. 650 0 $a Suburbs $v Fiction. 655 0 $a Domestic fiction. 941 $a 21 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305034029.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010015054.0 952 $l KAPF566 $d 20230331012558.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204080509.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110062424.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20191211011803.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720044310.0 952 $l MGPD463 $d 20180718024030.0 952 $l NEPC953 $d 20180714033837.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171228031803.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418105551.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826111826.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20160202090713.0 952 $l EBPE325 $d 20151010010255.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20150926032235.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20150903011032.0 952 $l ZVPB675 $d 20150812183246.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20150728010710.0 952 $l PRAX771 $d 20150702021115.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20150624013137.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20150619014211.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9948B0CEF2F211E49475ABD7DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JIWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
