Homes, A. M. In a Country of Mothers
Alfred A Knopf Inc 1993 0679415688 / 9780679415688 First Edition Trade Paperback Very Good
Very-good condition - ONLY writing/mark inside book is previous owner's signature in book front - on blank page - Tight spine - Bright pages - 275 pages - NO tears inside book - NO remainder marks or price clippings - In the conflicted, unnerving world of possibilities fostered by A. M. Homes's powerful imagination, two women of tremendous magnetism discover a tie that binds them - the intimacy that exists between therapist and patient - until it threatens to undo them both. And as their relationship begins to extend beyond the allotted "fifty-minute hour," what has started out as simple counsel and friendship develops into excess of the most moving, and frightening, kind. For Claire Roth, a capable, established psychotherapist with an adoring husband and children no more alienated than normal, her new patient Jody Goodman - a witty and attractive young filmmaker - is a welcome diversion from a routine at once comfortable and predictable. Jody, successful yet uncertain about living apart from her adoptive parents for the first time, is disarmed by Claire's interest and approval. Gradually, for these two - exactly the right ages to be mother and daughter - the lines between friendship and family, between love and compulsion, begin to lose their focus. Every strong motivation they share - a belief in family, a desire to shape their own destinies and, possibly, to contend with a distant and suppressed past - could also unbalance them . . . especially when one of them starts to believe fanatically that some things simply cannot be coincidences, and that what they share, in fact, is the deepest bond of all. In a Country of Mothers is a transfixing literary and psychological thriller that questions such bedrock assumptions as the confidence we place in family, in healers, in all those we know, care about, and trust with our secrets. In its alarming climactic moments, all the more terrifying for the familiarity of their setting, A. M. Homes forces us to confront our own judgments about sanity, danger, and desire.

Homes, A. M. Music for Torching
New York, New York, U.S.A. Perennial 2000 068817762X / 9780688177621 Trade Paperback Fine
A photo of this book is available. Fine condition. NO remainder marks or clippings. Tight spine, clean pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 359 pages. Synopsis As A.M. Homes's incendiary novel unfolds, the Kodacolor hues of the good life become nearly hallucinogenic.Laying bare th foundations of a marriage, flash frozen in the anxious entropy of a suburban subdivision, Paul and Elaine spin the quit terors of family life into a fantastical frenzy that careens out of control. From a strange and hilarious encounter with a Stepford Wife neighbor to an ill-conceived plan for a tattoo, to a sexy cop who shows up at all the wrong moments, to a housecleaning team in space suits, a mistress calling on a cell phone, and a hostage situationat a school, A.M. Homes creates characters so outrageously flawed and deeply human that thery are entriely believable. OUT Magazine - Bethany Schneider This is a tale of the seamy underside of desire for men, women, property, children, love with a cast of somewhat charming, somewhat despicable, slightly imbecilic characters who are damned when they do and damned when they don't. Biography Salon wrote of the characters in A. M. Homes’s 2002 story collection Things You Should Know, There are few formalities, even less bulls--t, no making nice for the sake of appearances. The same could be said for Homes’s work as a whole. She specializes in bringing dark impulses and twisted tendencies to the surface, never softening or downplaying the often disturbing behavior displayed by her characters.
