Elizabeth Morison is an ordinary woman. Yet to eight-year-old Bunny, his mother is the centre of his universe. To his older brother, Robert, she is someone he must protect against the dangers of the outside world. And to James Morison, his wife is the foundation on which his family rests and life without her is unimaginable. William Maxwell's unique and moving family portrait confirms his reputation as one of the twentieth century's finest novelists.

"A beautiful novel and further reason, should we need one, as to why we should read everything this gentle craftsman wrote" Eileen Battersby, Irish Times; "Maxwell mines the ordinary and finds the extraordinary... the unspoken and things but faintly understood... This is a novel to read, reflect upon and read again. In a hundred years, if they read at all, others will do the same" Ross Leckie, The Times
