| dc.description.abstract | This novel is about the lingering effect of death on the living. Their death lingers primarily because: (1) the living remember and refuse to let the dead disappear; (2) physical evidence of the dead are present in the environment of the living; and (3) substitutes of the dead are so different from the original that one can't help but notice the absence of the original. Set in the San Francisco-San Jose Bay Area from in the early- to mid-1960s, the novel opens with the death of a Marion Peck in December 1964. Told from the third person point of view of her son, Newton Peck, the novel interleaves two storylines - the past (1963 to 1964) and the present (1964-1965) - to reveal the events that led to her death as well as the consequences on the Peck household, particularly her son Newton, her husband Rolland, and their Korean butler/gardener, Mr. Wren. | |
