Paperback. Zustand: Good. A daring novel of culture, history, and heredity, hailed as "extravagant and absorbing" (Audrey Niffenegger, author of The Time Traveler's Wife) A Washington Post Book World Best Book of the Year In Michigan's Upper Peninsula, a dangerous rescue effort draws the attention of the entire country. A two-and-a-half-year-old girl has fallen down a mine shaft. It is as if all hope for life on the planet is bound up in the rescue of this little girl, the first and only child of a young woman of Finnish extraction and her Chinese-American husband. The novel takes a breathtaking leap back in time to visit Ursula's most remarkable ancestors: a third-century-B.C. Chinese alchemist; an orphaned playmate of a seventeenth-century Swedish queen; Professor Alabaster Wong, a Chautauqua troupe lecturer (on exotic Chinese topics) traveling the Midwest at the end of the nineteenth century; her great-great-grandfather Jake Maki, who died at twenty-nine in a Michigan iron mine cave-in; and others whose richness and history are contained in the induplicable DNA of just one person--little Ursula Wong. Ursula's story echoes those of her ancestors, many of whom so narrowly escaped not being born that her very existence--like ours--comes to seem a miracle. Ambitious and accomplished, Ursula, Under is, most of all, wonderfully entertaining.…

Hardback. Zustand: Fair. In Michigan's Upper Peninsula, a dangerous rescue effort draws the ears and eyes of the entire country. A two-and-a-half-year-old girl has fallen down a mine shaft--the only sound is an astonished tiny intake of breath from Ursula as she goes down, like a penny into the slot of a bank, disappeared, gone. It is as if all hope for life on the planet is bound up in the rescue of this little girl, the first and only child of a young woman of Finnish extraction and her Chinese-American husband. One TV viewer following the action notes that the Wong family lives in a decrepit mobile home and wonders why all this time and money is being wasted on that half-breed trailer-trash kid. In response, the novel takes a breathtaking leap back in time to visit Ursula's most remarkable ancestors: a third-century-B.C. Chinese alchemist; an orphaned playmate of a seventeenth-century Swedish queen; Professor Alabaster Wong, a Chautauqua troupe lecturer (on exotic Chinese topics) traveling the Midwest at the end of the nineteenth century; her great-great-grandfather Jake Maki, who died at twenty-nine in a Michigan iron mine cave-in; and others whose richness and history are contained in the induplicable DNA of just one person--little Ursula Wong.Ursula's story echoes those of her ancestors, many of whom so narrowly escaped not being born that her very existence--like ours--comes to seem a miracle.

Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in FINE+ condition. 476pp. "In Michigan's upper peninsula, a dangerous rescue effort draws the ears and eyes of the entire country. A two-and-a-half-year-old girl has fallen down a mine shaft--'the only sound is an astonished tiny intake of breath from Ursula as she goes down, like a penny into the slot of a bank, disappeared, gone.' It is as if all hope for life on the planet is bound up in the rescue of this little girl, the first and only child of a young woman of Finnish extraction and her Chinese-American husband.

Ursula's story echoes those of her ancestors, many of whom so narrowly escaped not being born that her very existence--like ours--comes to seem a miracle. Ambitious and accomplished, URSULA, UNDER is, most of all, wonderfully entertaining--a daring saga of culture, history, and heredity." [jacket copy] "Ingrid Hill's territory is the realm of universal fiction: ferocious, funny, or melancholy, but always spirit-enlarging."--Newsday. "URSULA, UNDER is extravagant and absorbing. Each story opens into another story, and as each new chapter ended, I thought: I liked that one best. I didn't want it to end."--Audrey Niffenegger. "URSULA, UNDER is a kind of prose miracle, a page-turner of a tale about an imperiled child, a story built out of beautiful language. It's not only about what happens to a 'trailer-trash' baby, but about all of us, our family histories, attitudes, triumphs and shortcomings, about the human family at large. Indeed, the novel is a big, fearless, well-crafted narrative that should make clear to us the importance of taking the next breath."--Tim Gautreaux. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, in a bright & intact jacket. Quite presentable.…
