Description
The inspiration for a Merchant-Ivory film starring Kris Kristoffersen, this is a rich and poignant family drama from the daughter of novelist James Jones. Based on the author's formative years in Paris with her father, this novel explores the complex, volatile relationship between siblings and parents when Channe, previously the adored only child, finds her world disrupted by the arrival of an adopted brother. Back in print, this new edition includes an author's introduction reflecting on the process of developing a screenplay, and a previously unpublished chapter.
