Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A sweeping and enchanting new novel from the author of The Giant's HouseFrom the day she is discovered unconscious in a New England cemetery at the beginning of the twentieth century - nothing but a bowling ball, a candlepin and fifteen pounds of gold on her person - Bertha Truitt is an enigma to everyone in Salford, Massachusetts. She has no past to speak of, or at least none she is willing to reveal, and her mysterious origin scandalises and intrigues the townspeople, as does her choice to marry and start a family with Leviticus Sprague, the doctor who revived her. But Bertha is plucky, tenacious and entrepreneurial, and the bowling alley she opens quickly becomes Salford's most defining landmark - with Bertha its most notable resident. She changes the town forever- her singular spirit resonating powerfully through every board and brick and bone.In a voice laced with insight and her signature sharp humour, Elizabeth McCracken has written an epic family saga set against the backdrop of twentieth-century America. Bowlaway is both a stunning feat of language and a brilliant unravelling of a family's myths and secrets, its passions and betrayals, and the ties that bind and the rifts that divide. From the day she is discovered unconscious in a New England cemetery at the beginning of the twentieth century nothing but a bowling ball, a candlepin and fifteen pounds of gold on her person Bertha Truitt is an enigma to everyone in Salford, Massachusetts.
