Description

From Michael Cunningham, the Pulitzer prize winning writer of The Hours, comes this widely praised novel of two boyhood friends: Jonathan, lonely, introspective, and unsure of herself; and Bobby, hip, dark, and inarticulate. In Ny after college, Bobby moves in with Jonathan and his roommate, Clare, a veteran of the town's erotic wars. Bobby and Clare fall in love, scuttling the plans of Jonathan, who's gay, to father Clare's child. Then, when Clare and Bobby have an infant, the three-move to a little house upstate to boost "their" child together and, by having an odd friend, Alice, produce a new type of family.
