A startling and ambitious novel, as funny as it is poignant, The Petty Details of So-and-so's Life tells the story of Blue and Emma Taylor, who, despite an almost telepathic connection, respond to the sudden disappearance of their explosive father in remarkably different ways. Emma sets off in pursuit of a new family, and discovers a sense of belonging in the most unexpected places. Burly, tattoo-stamped Blue, haunted by the brutal, disparaging voice of their father, embarks on a cross-country search for the elusive parent. Emma and Blue share a most intimate connection, one forged in the secret worlds and wordless communications of childhood. As they grow, they discover the limits of the language they share.]]> 71991 3.89 945 207 2002 6738492 276092680X 9782760926806 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6738492-miel-d-harar-le 0.0 0 71991 3.89 945 207 6738493 0385663226 9780385663229 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6738493-the-beauty-of-humanity-movement 0.0 0 71991 3.89 945 207 2010 6484514 9655113906 9789655113907 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6484514-ha-kol-shel-telma-mouthing-the-words 0.0 0 71991 3.89 945 207 2008 6328572 077103427X 9780771034275 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6328572.The_Journey_Prize_Stories_21_The_Best_of_Canada_s_New_Writers 0.0 0
