Edward Darby has everything a man could hope for: meaningful work,
a loving wife, and a beloved daughter. With a rising career as a
partner at an esteemed gallery he strives not to let ambition,
money, power, and his dark past corrode the sanctuary of his
domestic and private life. Influenced by his father, a brilliant
Romantics scholar, Edward has always been more of a purist than an
opportunist. But when a celebrated artist controlled by her
insecurities betrays him, and another very different artist awakens
his heart and stirs up secrets from his past, Edward will find
himself unmoored from his marriage, his work, and the memory of his
beloved father. And when the finalists of an important prize are
announced, and the desperate artists maneuver to seek its
validation, Edward soon learns that betrayal comes in many forms,
and that he may be hurtling toward an act that challenges his own
notions about what comprises a life worth living. A compelling
odyssey of a man unhinged by his ideals, The Prize is as well an
unflinching portrait of a marriage struggling against the corroding
tide of time and the proximity to the treacherous fault line
between art and money. Inspired by her work as a poet and the need
to preserve a private space for the creation of art, and with
language that pierces with longing, passion, and intelligence,
The Prize by Jill Bialosky is her most evocative and moving
novel yet.
