Книга: All The Living

Aloma is a young woman who has put aside her life in order to move in with her lover, Orren, whose family has recently been killed in an accident. Stricken with grief and overwhelmingly burdened by the shape his life has taken, he is desperate to keep the tobacco farm running, and Aloma finds he has become more remote than she could ever have imagined. Playing the piano for the local church, she finds herself being dangerously attracted to the preacher. 'All the Living' takes us on a journey as events unfold over this single summer. A beautiful novel about human relationships that explores the distance between our lives - and the lives we imagine for ourselves. A first novel by the most significant new American writer to have emerged in years.
