Once Upon a Time on the Banks 2024 pdf epub mobi 电子书 图书描述

Once Upon a Time on the Banks takes place in

Mattagash, the same backwoods Maine village

that provided the setting for The Funeral Makers

--a first novel celebrated by The New York Times

Book Review as "hilariously irreverent, comic,

tragic, and lyrical." Cathie Pelletier s new book

opens on the first day of spring in 1969, the day

Driving While Intoxicated.

What happens when this lively assortment of

characters (and more) comes together by the

Mattagash River for Amy Joy s wedding is the

story of Once Upon a Time on the Banks--a book

about families, about heritage, about place, that

combines ribald humor with tenderness and a

rare breadth of vision. Cathie Pelletier is that

rare thing, a real storyteller: one whose literary
