NEW ARRIVALS

Tony and Susan

AUTHOR : Austin Wright

PUBLISHER : Grand Central Publishing

GENRE : Literature & Fiction

Fifteen years ago, Susan Morrow left her first husband, Edward Sheffield, an unpublished writer. Now, she’s enduring middle class suburbia as a doctor’s wife, when out of the blue she receives a package containing the manuscript of her ex-husband’s first novel. He writes asking her to read the book; she was always his best critic, he says.

As Susan reads, she is drawn into the fictional life of Tony Hastings, a math professor driving his family to their summer house in Maine. And as we read with her, we too become lost in Sheffield’s thriller. As the Hastings’ ordinary, civilized lives are disastrously, violently sent off course, Susan is plunged back into the past, forced to confront the darkness that inhabits her, and driven to name the fear that gnaws at her future and will change her life.

“Tony and Susan” is a dazzling, eerie, riveting novel about fear and regret, blood and revenge, marriage and creativity. It is simply one of a kind.

Both a son’s love letter to his mother in her final years and an unconventional mother’s life lessons for her grown son, “The Rainbow Comes and Goes” offers a rare window into their close relationship and fascinating lives. In these often hilarious and touching exchanges, they share their most private thoughts and the hard-earned truths they’ve learned along the way.

Throughout, their distinctive personalities shine through - Anderson’s darker outlook on the world is a brilliant contrast to his mother’s idealism and unwavering optimism.
