When introverted, eccentric Ethan Fawcett falls in love with the vivacious Barb, he has every reason to believe he will be delivered from a lifetime of solitude. But then the global pandemic hits, and their relationship takes a turn for the worse. Ethan grows obsessed with providing the perfect life for their adopted 8-year-old twins, Tommy and Sam. And he pushes Barb away, unable to share with her the secret he harbors about his parents' untimely deaths. Once the planet returns to a version of normalcy, Ethan takes Tommy and Sam on a week-long biking adventure in Italy. During this disastrous excursion, it becomes clear just how unusual Ethan and his children are-and what it will take for Ethan to repair his marriage. This hauntingly beautiful novel-about loneliness and connection-is also filled with humor and surprise. Reminiscent of the best works by Anne Tyler, Ann Patchett, and Jane Smiley, it is a poignant, page-turning debut that, above all, is a bold and highly original literary high-wire feat. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Foster children $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mental illness $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Psychic trauma $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 0 $a COVID-19 Pandemic, 2020- $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Harrison, BJ, $e narrator. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/15151153?utm_source=MARC $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/dra_9781954118140_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20221005010551.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=13C9EDF2447311EDBB956A3F21ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
