Beschreibung:
Glenway Wescott (1901-1987) was born in Kewaskum, Wisconsin. He was raised on a farm with an extended family, and The Grandmothers was his first major literary work. Among his other books are Goodbye, Wisconsin: The Apple of the Eye: and Pilgrim Hawk. Wescott's journals from 1937 to 1955 were published by Farrar Strauss Giroux under the title Continual Lessons in 1990.
This story is based on Wescott's own life and family, the young Alwyn Tower leaves Wisconsin to travel in Europe, but finds himself haunted by a family of long-dead spirits- his grandparents and great-uncles and aunts, a generation whose young adulthood was shattered by the Civil War.
