A Sack of Teeth - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

<div>Six-year-old Jack Klein&#8217;s first day of school is also a day of radical changes: Jack&#8217;s mother Lorraine learns that her husband, Ray, is having an affair, and that her secret love, Antoine Gaudin, the 65-year-old boarder in the basement, has committed suicide, leaving behind a suitcase full of money and a sack of gold teeth. Lorraine&#8217;s decision about what to do about the money, the gold teeth, and Ray&#8217;s infidelity will forever change her life and her family. This briskly paced, black-comic tale moves seamlessly between the distinct but overlapping worlds of a confused child, a mother immersed in 1960s youth culture, and a father who worships the fading Rat Pack and the indulgences it represents.</div>
