The Body of Jonah Boyd - Tapa blanda

The complex interrelationships of members of the Wright family, their associates, and their visitors--psychology professor Ernest Wright, his mistress Judith Denham, wife Nancy, insufferable fifteen-year-old son, Nancy's best friend Anne, and Anne's new husband, noted novelist Jonah Boyd--turn their Thanksgiving holiday upside down and change the lives of everyone involved. Reprint. 30,000 first printing.
