From Jane Hamilton, Author Of The Beloved "new York Times Bestsellers A Map Of The World And The Book Of Ruth, Comes A Warmly Humorous, Poignant Novel About A Young Man, His Mother's E-mail, And The Often Surprising Path Of Infidelity. Henry Shaw, A High School Senior, Is About As Comfortablr With His Family As Any Seventeen-year-old Can Be. His Father, Kevin, Teaches History With A Decidedly Socialist Tinge At The Chicago Private School Henry And His Sister Attend. His Mother, Beth, Who Plays The Piano In A Group Specializing In Antique Music, Is A Loving, Attentive Wife And Parent. Henry Even Accepts The Offbeat Behavior Of His Thirteen-year-old Sister, Elvira, Who Is Obsessed With Civil War Reenactments And Insists On Dressing In Handmade Union Uniforms At Inopportune Times. When He Stumbles On His Mother's E-mail Account, However, Henry Realizes That All Is Not As It Seems.

Henry's Observations, Set Down Ten Years After That Fateful Year, Are Much More Than The "old Story" Of Adultery His Mother Deemed Her Affair To Be.
