A Special Providence
Another great lost novel by the author of 'Revolutionary Road'. Robert Prentice is eighteen. His mother Alice Prentice is fifty-three. Both are damaged souls: Robert, by war, Alice, by thwarted dreams of prosperity. In two deeply humanizing portraits, the great American writer crafts a novel of postwar America, at once at odds with its own sense of identity and mercilessly prohibitive to its like-minded citizens.
