Abstract In Time Will Darken It, Sustin King's attempts to impress his Southern relatives, especially his foster cousin Nora, cause a scandle in his Illinois hometown and a crisis within his family in a story that paints a portrait of a small, straitlaced community where gossip can ruin even its most blameless member.
Abstract The Château is set in Europe in 1948. A young American couple arrive in France for a holiday, full of anticipation and enthusiasm. But the countryside and people are war-battered, and their their relationship with an impoverished family of aristocrats at the Chateau Beaumesnil is not all the open-hearted Americans could wish for.
Abstract So Long, See You Tomorrow explores the enigmatic gravity of the past, which compels us to keep explaining it even as it makes liars out of us every time we try. On a winter morning in the 1920s, a shot rings out on a farm in rural Illinois. A man named Lloyd Wilson has been killed. It is also the story of youth, loss, and the tenuous friendship between two lonely teenagers. Fifty years later, one of those boys tries to reconstruct the events that led up to the murder. In doing so, he is inevitably drawn back to his lost friend Cletus, who witnessed things that Maxwell's narrator can only guess at. Out of memory and imagination, the surmises of children and the destructive passions of their parents.
