{"product_id":"house-under-snow-9780156027465","title":"House Under Snow","description":"\u003cp\u003eA novel by an acclaimed American poet, \u003ci\u003eHouse Under Snow\u003c\/i\u003e is a story of mothers and daughters, of sexual identity, of a family slowly disintegrating after the premature death of its patriarch. Anna Crane, soon to be married, reflects back on her childhood in Ohio during the 1960s and '70s with her two sisters and her charismatic, self-destructing mother. Evoking the claustrophobia of small-town life, Anna's first passionate love affair with a troubled boy who works as a groom and trainer at a horse track, and her mother's endless stream of suitors and a failed marriage, the novel races toward a chilling conclusion when Anna is betrayed by the two most important figures in her young life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Not since Alice McDermott's \u003ci\u003eThat Night\u003c\/i\u003e has there been such a telling portrait of first love. And not since Mona Simpson's \u003ci\u003eAnywhere But Here\u003c\/i\u003e have we witnessed the destructive, seductive nature of a mother who insists on competing with her children. An unforgettable tale of the power and vulnerability of sex and family, history and the past, \u003ci\u003eHouse Under Snow\u003c\/i\u003e is a lyrical and brilliant fictional debut.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBialosky, Jill:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003eJILL BIALOSKY is the author of the acclaimed novel House Under Snow and two collections of poetry, The End of Desire and Subterranean.
