Book Reviews of A Home at the End of the World: A Novel
Book Review: another great novel by Cunnigham
Summary: 5 Stars
This was my second novel by Cunnigham, the first being The Hours which I wanted to read after seeing the movie. I loved The Hours so much that I was afraid to be disappoited by any other novel of the same author. However, A Home at the End of the World turned out to be at least as good, which led me to reading Flesh and Blood and wanting to read everything else Cunnighham has written. And I will definitely want to reread A Home every now and then, which is why I decided to buy it and now rely on libraries.
Summary of A Home at the End of the World: A Novel
From Michael Cunningham, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Hours, comes this widely praised novel of two boyhood friends: Jonathan, lonely, introspective, and unsure of himself; and Bobby, hip, dark, and inarticulate. In New York after college, Bobby moves in with Jonathan and his roommate, Clare, a veteran of the city's erotic wars. Bobby and Clare fall in love, scuttling the plans of Jonathan, who is gay, to father Clare's child. Then, when Clare and Bobby have a baby, the three move to a small house upstate to raise "their" child together and, with an odd friend, Alice, create a new kind of family. A Home at the End of the World masterfully depicts the charged, fragile relationships of urban life today.Contemporary Books
