Jane's House

About the Book

A beautiful, astonishing, heartbreaking novel of love and loss — and winning. The sort of novel that comes along rarely to touch something personal in us. It's the story of a man and woman falling in love, and of the children and the memories of a perfect first wife that could keep them apart.

"Excellent!"

—Philadelphia Inquirer
