- Zusatztext
- Bobby DuBois comes from a long line of misfits. Basically a good kid, he can t shake an inherited propensity for violence and drug abuse. When his father gets arrested it appears likely that Bobby, too, is headed into the system. Then Uncle Thaddeus rescues him and they take to the backwoods, managing to stay one step ahead of the law until hurricane rains swell the Swift River, ravaging Franklin County and flushing Bobby and Thaddeus out of the hills. Still on the run, Thaddeus teaches Bobby how to drink, fight and fornicate how to be a right DuBois. Perhaps the most important lesson Bobby learns, however, is that he doesn t want to grow up to be like his father or his uncle. The bristling action culminates with a disturbing custody battle waged in the shadows of Stillwater Bridge. The DuBois clan is in trouble and has been for generations, and at its core this beautiful and violent first novel is about Bobby s struggle to save his own soul.
- Kurztext
- Brothers Adam and David Remler share the bond unique to identical twins, connected in all aspects of their lives and content to be so. Until Ariel Warning, a beautiful young woman with suspect qualities, comes to work for the brother s film company and begins a relationship with David while secretly pursuing Adam. When Adam falls to temptation, his sense of self is shattered. Adam goes out into the world to learn just who this mysterious woman is, seeking to protect his brother even as he betrays him. His inquiry takes him from the heartland of America to the Far East, becoming a journey of self-invention as much as a fact-finding mission. Every new facet of Ariel s past draws Adam in deeper, turning his investigation into a journey to solve the ultimate mystery: his problematic lost self.
