A Widow For One Year by John Irving - Hardcover

A Widow For One Year by John Irving - Hardcover First Trade Edition 1998 Printed in Acid free paper Random House Excellent used condition "A Widow For One Year will appeal to readers who like old-fashioned storytelling mixed with modern sensitivities. . . . Irving is among the few novelists who can write a novel about grief and fill it with ribald humor soaked in irony."--USA Today In A Widow for One Year, we follow Ruth Cole through three of the most pivotal times in her life: from her girlhood on Long Island (in the summer of 1958) through the fall of 1990 (when she is an unmarried woman whose personal life is not nearly as successful as her literary career), and at last in the autumn of 1995, when Ruth is a forty-one-year-old widow and mother (and she's about to fall in love for the first time). Both elegiac and sensual, A Widow for One Year is a multilayered love story of astonishing emotional force. A testament to one of life's most difficult lessons: In the end, you just have to find a way to keep going."--San Francisco Examiner-Chronicle Ships same or next business day Comes from a non-smoking home Thanks for taking a look!
