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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mariner Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43373993459967,"sku":"9780156027465","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780156027465_s600x595.jpg?v=1780333984","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780156027465","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
