In her second novel, Lisa Alther gives us the story - hilarious, serious, and moving - of five children. It's Newland, Tennessee, and The Five - lazing and dreaming in the branches of a weeping beech - are plotting their futures: the two Prince sisters (daughters of the mill owner), the two Tatro brothers (sons of the foreman) and Donny, the black grandson of the Princes' maid Ruby. These kids are a world unto themselves. They are a band of brothers, forever to be bonded in love and custom as they are now. Lisa Alther charts the universal passage from idyllic shores of childhood through the unanticipated mazes of grown-up life." $22.00USD
