Chances Are . . .

Více o knize

<b>From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of <i>Empire Falls</i> comes a new revelation: a riveting story about the abiding yet complex power of friendship.</b> One beautiful September day, three men convene on Martha's Vineyard, friends since meeting in college circa the sixties. They couldn't have been more different then, or even today--Lincoln's a commercial real estate broker, Teddy a tiny-press publisher, and Mickey a musician beyond his rockin' age. But each man holds his own secrets, in addition to the monumental mystery that none of them has ever stopped puzzling over since a Memorial Day weekend on the Vineyard in 1971: the disappearance of the woman each of them loved--Jacy Rockafellow. Now, more than forty years later, as this new weekend unfolds, three lives are displayed in their entirety while the distant past confounds the present like a relentless squall of surprise and discovery. Shot through with Russo's trademark comedy and humanity, <i>Chances Are . . .</i> also introduces a new level of suspense and menace that will quicken the reader's heartbeat. For both longtime fans and lucky newcomers, Russo's latest is a stunning demonstration of a highly acclaimed author deepening and expanding his remarkable achievement.
