A Bigamist's Daughter: A Novel
Alice McDermott
The beautifully written (The Washington Post) first novel by Alice McDermott, National Book Award-winning author of Charming Billy and Someone.
Elizabeth Connelly, editor at a New York vanity press, sells the dream of publication (admittedly, to writers of questionable talent). Stories of true emotional depth rarely cross her desk. But when a young writer named Tupper Daniels walks in, bearing an unfinished novel, Elizabeth is drawn to both the novelist and his story--a lyrical tale about a man in love with more than one woman at once.
Tupper's manuscript unlocks memories of her own secretive father, who himself may have been a bigamist. As Elizabeth and Tupper search for the perfect dénouement, their affair, too, approaches a most unexpected and poignant coda.
A brilliant debut from one of our most celebrated authors, A Bigamist's Daughter is a wise, sad, witty novel about men and women, God, hope, love, illusion, and fiction itself (Newsweek).
