Synopsis
From the author of the New York Times bestseller and Oprah's Book Club selection House of Sand and Fog--a new big-hearted, painful, page-turning novel., One early September night in Florida, a stripper brings her daughter to work. April's usual babysitter is in the hospital, so she decides it's best to have her three-year-old daughter close by, watching children's videos in the office, while she works. Except that April works at the Puma Club for Men. And tonight she has an unusual client, a foreigner both remote and too personal, and free with his money. Lots of it, all cash. His name is Bassam. Meanwhile, another man, AJ, has been thrown out of the club for holding hands with his favorite stripper, and he's drunk and angry and lonely. From these explosive elements comes a relentless, raw, searing, passionate, page-turning narrative, a big-hearted and painful novel about sex and parenthood and honor and masculinity. Set in the seamy underside of American life at the moment before the world changed, it juxtaposes lust for domination with hunger for connection, sexual violence with family love. It seizes the reader by the throat with the same psychological tension, depth, and realism that characterized Andre Dubus's #1 bestseller, House of Sand and Fog--and an even greater sense of the dark and anguished places in the human heart., From the author of the "New York Times" bestseller and Oprah's Book Club selection "House of Sand and Fog"--a new big-hearted, painful, page-turning novel.

    First purchase from this seller (Mary), along with my first time to utilize eBay's "local pickup" shipping option. The item, which exceeded my expectations, was a large painting that would have been unwieldy (or cost-prohibitive) to ship. Seller was courteous, personable, and professional. Great communication as well, facilitating a local pickup that went smoothly!

    This seller packed this lovely lamp and shade unbelievably well. In all the years I’ve been a buyer I have rarely seen any item so well packed. I’ve had about ten people who have done this. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy anything from this seller. It’s as described. The seller shipped it quickly, and answered my questions very promptly. Thank you for a great experience.
