Shortlisted for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Fiction (2004).

Joy Williams's landscapes reach from Maine and Nantucket to the Southwest and into Mexico and Guatemala, while the events cover a range of human travail, from children confronting the death of a parent to parents instead burying their own young, and the various ways—comic, tragic, unnerving—we seek to accommodate diminishment and loss.
