Edizione: “it is ample token of maxine kumin’s talents as poet and novelist that this compelling novel never departs from the substance of real life. she invests with new insight the homely details of a new england suburb and the crises that punctuate life with familiarity and the saving grace of humor. the broad canvas of the passions of uxport offers the reader richness of character, scene and perception, and the wry wisdom of a woman of experience.”-publisher<br> this copy is inscribed by kumin to professor michael fixner and his wife. fixner and kumin both worked in the english department at tufts university.
