Award-winning author Cary Fagan has created a mesmerizing series of narrative tales, giving readers a vivid peek into lives of strangers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA man hangs onto a runaway horse. A woman paints in the nude. A shop window advertising a sale on blankets hides much more behind it. A lone tombstone on a hill speaks of a years-long feud. The stories — capturing portraits, objects, moments in time — while dizzyingly varied, form a single image that, in the words of the author, \"belong to one history, found in an album that might belong to any of us.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeftly marrying vision and language with memory and imagination, Fagan paints an intimate portrait of forgotten lives that is profound, generous, and highly entertaining.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House of Anansi Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47027990921456,"sku":"9781487001469","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781487001469_p0.jpg?v=1763635744","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781487001469","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
