At Paradise Gate by Jane Smiley
In this brilliant novel, Pulitzer Prize-winning and bestselling author Jane Smiley delves into the domestic drama of the Robison family. While seventy-seven-year-old Ike Robison is dying in his bedroom upstairs, his wife defends the citadel of their marriage against an ill-considered, albeit loving, invasion by their three middle-aged daughters and their twenty-three-year-old granddaughter. Amply fulfilling the expectations raised by Smiley's other celebrated works, At Paradise Gate is a compelling, gracefully wrought portrait of intergenerational strife and family survival.Jane Smiley is the author of A Thousand Acres, as well as more than 10 other works of fiction, including Horse Heaven, Moo, and The Greenlanders, for which she won the Pulitzer Prize. She was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 2001. She resides in the state of California's northwestern region.
