From the celebrated author of "The English Patient" and "Anil's
Ghost" comes a remarkable, intimate novel of intersecting lives
that ranges across continents and time.
In the 1970s in Northern California a father and his teenage
daughters, Anna and Claire, work their farm with the help of Coop,
an enigmatic young man who makes his home with them. Theirs is a
makeshift family, until it is shattered by an incident of violence
that sets fire to the rest of their lives. "Divisadero" takes us
from San Francisco to the raucous backrooms of Nevada's casinos and
eventually to the landscape of southern France. As the narrative
moves back and forth through time and place, we find each of the
characters trying to find some foothold in a present shadowed by
the past.
