Joyce Carol Oates
Large Paperback
A young girls disappearance rocks a community and a family, in this stirring examination of grief, faith, justice and the atrocities of war, from literary legend Joyce Carol Oates.
Zeno Mayfields daughter has disappeared into the night, gone missing in the wilds of the Adirondacks. But when the community of Carthage joins a fathers frantic search for the girl, they discover instead the unlikeliest of suspects a decorated Iraq War veteran with close ties to the Mayfield family. As grisly evidence mounts against the troubled war hero, the family must wrestle with the possibility of having lost a daughter forever.
Carthageplunges us deep into the psyche of a wounded young Corporal, haunted by unspeakable acts of wartime aggression, while unraveling the story of a disaffected young girl whose exile from her family may have come long before her disappearance.
Dark and riveting,the Joyce Carol Oates canon, one that explores the human capacity for violence, love and forgiveness, and asks it its ever truly possible to come home again.
