Alec Valentine is returning to England to care for his ailing mother, Alice, a task that only reinforces his deep sense of inadequacy. In San Francisco, his older brother Larry prepares to come home as well, preoccupied with an acting career that is sliding toward sleaze and a marriage that is faltering. In Paris, on the other hand, the Hungarian playwright Lászlo Lázár seems to have it all--critical acclaim, a loving boyfriend, and a close circle of friends--yet even he is haunted by guilt and tragedy. For each of them the time has come to assess the turns taken, the opportunities missed. And for each there will be one last chance to break free from the past and find redemption in a moment of clarity and courage.\u003cbr\u003e Andrew Miller has given us an intimate, compelling meditation that evokes an extraordinary range of emotions and insights--\u003cem\u003eOxygen\u003c\/em\u003e lives and breathes beyond the final page.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMiller, Andrew:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - ANDREW MILLER's novel \u003ci\u003eIngenious Pain\u003c\/i\u003e won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and the International IMPAC Award.
