Description
Jamesland, the buoyant second novel by Michelle Huneven, critically acclaimed author of Round Rock, is a witty, sophisticated, and deeply humane comedy of unlikely redemption. When thirty-three-year-old Alice Black discovers a deer in her dining room after fighting with her boyfriend, she wonders if shes going crazy. Pete Ross, forty-six, knows hes crazy. Hes wrecked his marriage, slashed his wrists, and done time in a psychiatric institution, and now he's being cared for by his mother, whos a nun. Forty-five-year-old Helen Harland, a spirited Unitarian Universalist minister, is being driven crazy by her hostile church administration. Living in Los Feliz, California, the three meet at Helens Wednesday midweek services. Though initially incompatible, the sheer force of Helens idiosyncratic ministering (her "variety show of religious experience")paired with Alices illustrious ancestor William Jamesproves to be a catalyst for friendship and a kind of transcendence. Generous and compassionate, Michelle Huneven delivers a joyful new novel about love, faith, and a few wayward souls waiting for life to begin.
