News From Heaven: The Bakerton Stories by Jennifer Haigh
In News from Heaven, Jennifer Haigh--bestselling author of Faith and The Condition--returns to the territory of her acclaimed novel Baker Towers with a collection of short stories set in and around the fictionalized coal-mining town of Bakerton, Pennsylvania.
Exploring themes of restlessness, regret, redemption and acceptance, Jennifer Haigh depicts men and women of different generations shaped by dreams and haunted by disappointments.
Janet Maslin of the New York Times has called Haigh's Bakerton stories "utterly, entrancingly alive on the page," comparable to Richard Russo's Empire Falls.
Jennifer Haigh is the author of four critically acclaimed novels: Faith, The Condition, Baker Towers, and Mrs. Haigh, as well as the short story collection News from Heaven.
