Description

Sydney Henderson is just a genuinely wonderful guy. Being a child, Sydney, thinking he's inadvertently killed a buddy, makes a pact with God, promising not to harm another when the child's life is spared. In the decades that follow, the almost pathologically mild Sydney is true to his promise - at terrible cost to himself and his household. Forever strikingly gorgeous and haunting, moments out of this novel may stay imprinted in your brain.
