How All This Started by Pete Fromm
The striking debut novel from award-winning writer Pete Fromm
Abilene and Austin, a sister and brother frustrated with the small-town Texas life their parents have chosen, turn to each other to escape the story they're all too tired of hearing: their father's unvarying account of How All This Started-how he met their mother then settled down in the middle of nowhere. Pinning her dreams on her younger brother, Abilene becomes dead-set on making Austin a pitching star, a fireballer like Nolan Ryan. Swept up in her irresistible exuberance, they try, with baseball and firearms, to combat the stagnation of the Texas landscape--so fiercely it's uncertain whether either of them will survive Abilene's manic dreams. Introducing one of the most memorable female characters in contemporary literature, How All This Started portrays with strength and subtlety the visceral bond between a brother and sister.| SKU | Nicht verfügbar |
