Special Providence - Yates Richard
Robert Prentice is eighteen, and his boyhood dreams have disintegrated on the battlefields of Europe. From his compelling portraits of these two damaged souls, Richard Yates creates a brilliant novel of post-war America, at odds with its own identity, striving to combine prosperity and ideals, mercilessly exposed in the attempt to do so. At home, his mother, Alice, wraps herself in fantasy against the relentless disappointments of life.
At once tender and ironic, bitterly sad and achingly funny, "A Special Providence" is the second novel by the author of "Revolutionary Road".
