Decorations In A Ruined Cemetery
Trade cloth edition in good condition. Dust jacket with intact price point. Full number line starting with 1. Mylar cover included.
“There’s something like a line of gold thread running through a man’s words when he talks to his daughter, and gradually over the years it gets to be long enough for you to pick up in your hands and weave into a cloth that feels like love itself.”
This is the heartbreaking story of the Eagen’s, a New Orleans family of “mixed blood,” as recalled by three unforgettable narrators, each intimately entangled in the family’s small tragedies and betrayals.
Years ago, when his daughter Meredith was young, Dr. Thomas Eagen abruptly left his wife and children in an incident that still haunts Meredith well into adulthood. She longs to discover the truth behind her father’s disappearance, as well as the reasons why Thomas’s mother, a proud black woman, abandoned his devout Catholic father.
