The final story crosses the ocean, underscoring the the power and mystery of unexpected connections. Lyrical descriptions of the physical environs and the emotional landscape of each character function like a funhouse mirror, providing just enough distance and distortion to see ourselves more clearly. The sharply striated world of a century ago aptly reflects the tensions, divisions, and perennial shared yearning for redemption and belonging that mark us as human."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Carnivals $v Fiction. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Seligman, Leaf, 1958- $t From the midway. $b First. $d Peterborough : New Hampshire Bauhan Publishing, LLC, 2019 $z 9780872332973 $w (DLC) 2019030200 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200103021653.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CD54722E166311EA9B100A4E97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
