"NATIONAL BESTSELLER - Set in a close-knit Newark neighborhood during a terrifying polio outbreak in 1944, a "book [that] has the elegance of a fable and the tragic inevitability of a Greek drama" (The New Yorker)--from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of American Pastoral.
Bucky Cantor is a vigorous, dutiful twenty-three-year-old playground director during the summer of 1944.
