A big, glorious novel in every sense, this sprawling family saga is a funny and big-hearted epic from a seriously gifted wordsmith Marie ClaireRead the sweeping and enchanting new novel from the author of The Giant s HouseBertha is an enigma to everyone in Salford, Massachusetts ever since she was discovered unconscious in a New England cemetery with nothing but a bowling ball, a candlepin and fifteen pounds of gold on her person. She has no past to speak of, and her mysterious origin scandalises the townspeople, as does her choice to marry and start a family with Leviticus Sprague, the doctor who revived her. But Bertha is plucky and entrepreneurial, and the bowling alley she opens quickly becomes Salford s most defining landmark. As she changes the town forever, her singular spirit resonating through every board and brick and bone, an epic family saga unfolds, set against the backdrop of twentieth-century America.
