Description
LONGLISTED FOR THE GORDON BURN PRIZE 2017
From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sportswriter comes a deeply personal account of his parents—an intimate portrait of American mid-twentieth century life, and a celebration of family love.
Edna Akin and Parker Ford married young. For fifteen years, they traveled the American south of the 1930s as Parker went about his work as a traveling salesman, selling laundry starch. Life was hotel rooms, roadside bars, and always each other. Then a single child was born to them, and life took a new direction.
Blending his parents' lives, drawing on memory, history, and anecdote, Richard Ford's Between Them is a stirring contemplation of love's mystery and of loss.
