"Everything's bigger in Texas. Even the Secrets."How many family sagas have you read that include a murder mystery in Texas, an epic romance in Japan, tragedy on the cobblestone st reets of Paris, and cliff-diving witchy-women in Mexico?Nicholas Bridwell's debut novel is about five families who couldn't be more different coming together as a community when tragedy strikes their neighborhood. From there, the story branches out into generations as we explore the fascinating lives of a young painter, a French baker, a factory worker's beautiful Japanese wife, and a vindictive mistress who is one of the finest, most complex women in all of literature.The story starts with a man with a severed leg limping through the woods. Where it ends will leave you breathless.ASIN: 0990573702VSKU: PKV.0990573702.GCondition: GoodAuthor/Artist:Bridwell, NicholasBinding: PaperbackNote: Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.
