The Summer We Fell Apart: a Novel Robin Antalek 1st edition

?[A] well-crafted and cunning debut novel?a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.?
?Publishers Weekly

The Summer We Fell Apart by newcomer Robin Antalek is a poignant, funny, and totally engrossing novel of family disasters and sibling rivalry?and it marks the debut of a pitch-perfect new voice in contemporary American fiction. Antalek?s tale of the trials and many tribulations of the hapless and more than a little dysfunctional Haas family recalls the work of Sue Miller and Ann Beattie?and is a wonderful introduction to a superb writer whose short fiction has been nominated for numerous awards, including the Glimmer Train?s Family Matter?s and Short-Story Award and the Bellingham Review?s Tobias Wolff Award for Fiction.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
