Sinopsi

What would drive easy-going, likable Jim Hutchins to pick up a twelve-gauge and head for his sworn enemy? The IRS threatening to garnish his mechanic&rsquo,s wages? His kids providing the police department full-time employment? His grief-sodden wife making money by dancing naked for his brother-in-law? Better ask what&rsquo,s kept him from picking it up before&mdash,His wits? His keen insights into human pretension? His wry sense of humor? His rough-hewn knowledge of the human heart? Tension rules until the end as &ldquo,The Suburbs of Heaven balances heartbreak and black comedic hilarity.&rdquo, (Newsday.) &ldquo,Biting, ribald ... engaging characters... What gives The Suburbs of Heaven much of its charm are the voices of its narrators, the five Hutchinses. Each of them is endowed with a similar blunt and idiosyncratic eloquence.&rdquo,&mdash,The New York Times Book Review. &ldquo,At last New Hampshire has her Faulkner. This powerful and disturbing novel chronicles the hardscrabble lives of the Hutchins clan and their colorful, compelling neighbors. Here&rsquo,s a tale of betrayal and loss, ignorance and poverty. Merle Drown knows that what&rsquo,s important is the exploration of the human heart in conflict with itself.&rdquo,&mdash,John Dufresne, author of Love Warps the Mind a Little
