From the acclaimed author of the #1 Indie Next Pick LYDIA CASSATT
READING THE MORNING PAPER and SOMEONE NOT REALLY HER MOTHER comes a
powerful new story about our yearning for wholeness and the
enduring weight of our briefest encounters. Back from a tour of
duty in Vietnam, Benny Finn, eldest son in a large Irish-American
family, strives to find his bearings amid the everyday life of 1973
New England. At a Benedictine abbey in rural New Hampshire, Sister
Clare, a young novice, confronts the day-to-day realities of a
cloistered existence. Linking these two is Isabel Howell, a college
student soon to discover that she must chart the course of her own
life in a way she could not have imagined. Deeply felt, often
luminously moving, THE BEAUTY OF ORDINARY THINGS carries forward
the promise of Harriet Scott Chessman's earlier work, revealing a
writer richly aware of the range of human tragedy and tenderness.
