One of Dick's earliest books, only published after his death, this is the story of four people's lives, loves and families crashing into each other, with traumatic consequences.
Written in the late 1950s but unpublished until after his death, this is one of Dick's greatest realistic novels
When Roger and Virginia Lindhal enrol their son Gregg in Mrs Alt's Los Padres Valley School in the mountains of Southern California, their marriage is already in deep trouble. Then the Lindhals meet Chic and Liz Bonner, whose two sons also board at Mrs Alt's school.
The meeting is a catalyst for a complicated series of emotions and traumas, set against the backdrop of suburban Los Angeles in the early 1950s. As Roger, Virginia, Chic and Liz orbit each other in ever-decaying circles, their lives threaten to run out of control.
This is a realistic novel filled with details of everyday life and skilfully told from three points of view. It is powerful, eloquent, and gripping.
