About the Book

Arthur Parkinson is fourteen during the dreary winter of 1974, experiencing the confusing pangs of adolescence and the pain of his parents' divorce. His world is shattered further by the sudden and violent death of Annie Marchand, his beloved former babysitter. Narrated by the adult Arthur, who continues to be haunted by memories, the story of a young man's unraveling family and the circumstances leading up to Annie's death form the backdrop for an intimate tale of the price of love and belonging, while told in a spare, translucent, and unexpectedly tender voice.

About the Author :
Stewart O'Nan is the author of more than a dozen novels, including West of Sunset; The Odds; Emily, Alone; and Snow Angels, as well as several works of nonfiction, including, with Stephen King, the New York Times bestselling Faithful. His novel Last Night at the Lobster was a national bestseller and a finalist for the 2007 Los Angeles Times Book Prize. He was born and raised and lives with his family in Pittsburgh. Malcolm Hillgartner is an accomplished actor, writer, and musician. Named an AudioFile Best Voice of 2013 and the recipient of several Earphones Awards, he has narrated over 250 audiobooks.

Review :
"Beautiful and harrowing...An exquisite double helix, each of its two strands the tale of an unraveling family, curving in tenuous but essential relation to the other." -- "Elle" "Hillgartner does a fine reading of this emotionally charged tale...his interpretation of the tension within the various relationships is well expressed." -- "Kliatt" "O'Nan is a skilled writer who views the lives of his working-class characters with unsentimental compassion...The novel's elegiac tone is perfectly controlled, and angst and the lingo of male adolescence are rendered with wry fidelity." -- "Publishers Weekly" "O'Nan weaves together...seemingly disparate small-town tragedies...with consummate skill, seamlessly shifting the focus among characters...This winner of the 1993 Pirates Alley William Faulkner Prize for the Novel is recommended for fiction collections." -- "Library Journal" "Stewart O'Nan's heartbreaking and poetic story...is beautifully read by narrator Malcom Hillgartner in a rich performance that resonates with melancholy and loss. Hillgartner's deep tone is so engaging and earnest it makes the story leap to life inside the listeners' collective imaginations. As Arthur Parkinson, he is thorough and complete in his reading, realistically assuming the identity of a middle-aged man searching for answers from his dreary past. There is little in the way of performance here, not in any obvious sense, but what Hillgartner lacks in variety and theatrics he more than provides in believability and emotion." -- "AudioFile"
