Beast and bird -- Something sweet -- Broken star -- A place in the sun -- To the stars -- Thrift -- Favorite son -- The bottom of things -- What remains -- Desiderata.
Now, in this collection of interconnected short stories, Jennifer Haigh returns to the vividly imagined world of Bakerton, Pennsylvania, a coal mining town rocked by decades of painful transition. From its heyday during two World Wars through its slow decline, Bakerton is a town that refuses to give up gracefully, binding--sometimes cruelly - succeeding generations to the place that made them.
