Enon by Paul Harding

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST NOVELS OF THE YEAR BY
The Wall Street Journal - American Library Association - Kirkus Reviews

A stunning allegorical novel about one man's enduring love for his daughter

In Enon, Paul Harding follows a year in the life of Charlie Crosby as he tries to come to terms with a shattering personal tragedy. Grandson of George Crosby (the protagonist of Tinkers), Charlie inhabits the same dynamic landscape of New England, its seasons mirroring his turbulent emotional odyssey. Along the way, Charlie's encounters are brought to life by his wit, his insights into history, and his yearning to understand the big questions. A stunning mosaic of human experience, Enon affirms Paul Harding as a contemporary master and one of our most important writers (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
