New York Newsday called Chute’s third book about Egypt, Maine, “a passionate and gorgeously written homage to americanca’s poor.” With Lloyd Barrington, a modern-day Robin Hood, at the head of the huge cast of characters, this is a “big, ambitious, satisfying novel...that should solidify Ms. Chute’s place as one of the unique voices of her generation” (Dallas Morning News). Named a New York Times Notable Book of the Year.

A mother and daughter see the news reports that a senator has been assassinated in the lobby of Boston's venerable Parker House. They hear that his killer, Robert Drummond, has escaped, prompting a nationwide manhunt. And yet Robert, wounded and suffering, has not gone far. He has, in fact, found refuge in the garage of another senator's Beacon Hill home, a place where the obvious options are death and discovery. But the unexpected happens in the form of the senator's daughter and wife. Despite the media frenzy, mother and daughter find themselves faced with a dying man whose desperate straits-both before and after the crime-they cannot ignore, and the two women become intimately involved with a man whose intelligence and physical presence weave a mesmerizing spell.

Therecousin Rubie, a boozer and a brawler, tall Aunt Roberta, the earth mother surrounded by countless, clinging babies, and Beal, sensitive, often gentle, but doomed by the violence within him.
