From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Overstory and Bewilderment, a visionary novel about the failings of the American dream.
''It''s not possible for powers to write an uninteresting book'' Margaret Atwood
In Lacewood, Illinois, Laura Bodey, a divorced mother of two and real estate agent, plunges into a new existence when she learns that she has cancer.
This same small town is home to Clare & Company, a soap manufacturer begun by three brothers in nineteenth-century Boston. Over the course of more than a century, it transforms into a powerful international corporation.
Clare & Company''s stunning growth reflects America''s kaleidoscopic history, yet for Laura and her family, this wild success has profound and lasting consequences.
''Penetrating and splendidly written... Dazzling'' New York Times
