from the Jacob's Woods bookshelf

Lovely book, similar in prose to Robinson's Housekeeping. As George lays dying in his last days, his mind wanders back to his father - an epileptic tinker, and his grandfather, who suffered from madness. George is a clock repairer, so lots of interweaving with information about clock repair too.

a wishlist book. Enjoy!

Arrived today, thanks!

I noticed it because of the Pulitzer Prize sticker at a second hand book shop. It was priced reasonably too (less than 3USD). To whomever sent this book out, thanks!
