About this product

Product Information

A moving, ironic and often heart breaking exploration of post-war America by the author of Revolutionary Road Robert Prentice is eighteen, and his boyhood dreams have disintegrated on the battlefields of Europe. At home, his mother, Alice, wraps herself in fantasy against the relentless disappointments of life.From his compelling portraits of these two damaged souls, Richard Yates creates a brilliant novel of post-war America, at odds with its own identity, striving to combine prosperity and ideals, mercilessly exposed in the attempt to do so. At once tender and ironic, bitterly sad and achingly funny, A Special Providence is the second novel by the author of Revolutionary Road.

    The book was new as advertised and well packed. Thank you for that. It did arrive one day after the original delivery dates period advised, but an email from Ebay on the last delivery date informed me it would be delayed . Overall a positive experience.
