Lily first meets the twins when they are children, and the boys arrive with their father to build Lily's family a new farmhouse. Ten years later, Oren returns for Lily. He asks her to marry him. She agrees, if he will settle down-for the first time in his life. Always lurking, though, is the question of Ian, off fighting the Great War. But when he returns, shell-shocked and wounded, Lily welcomes him into their home. Eyebrows are raised only silently at this unusual household, until one evening at the Grange Hall dance the three take a heady, impetuous waltz together-with practically the entire town watching. <br><br> Rich in detail and emotion, this unforgettable novel marks the debut of a singular storyteller who writes with extraordinary beauty, depth, and clarity. 1573793 25 6 2002 Housewrights total:46|5:16|4:14|3:14|2:2|1:0| 46 182 83 9 5 1 false false Tue Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 04 12:10:42 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 04 12:12:59 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Sep 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 04 20:58:24 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 16 17:03:53 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Jul 01 06:21:33 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 01 06:23:04 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Wed May 06 07:05:31 -0700 2009 Wed May 06 07:06:04 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Jan 26 08:59:09 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 26 08:59:29 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Mon Nov 17 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 21 14:15:45 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 17 06:59:28 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Jan 03 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Apr 03 11:27:44 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 03 11:27:44 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Sun Jul 06 14:42:35 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 06 14:48:20 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Mon Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2002 Thu Aug 30 12:40:16 -0700 2007 Wed Oct 24 12:24:40 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Mon Oct 26 19:46:23 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 26 19:46:23 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Oct 20 18:19:42 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 20 18:19:42 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Sep 27 23:33:13 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 27 23:33:13 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Sep 24 07:35:26 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 24 07:35:27 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Sep 21 12:56:21 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 21 12:56:21 -0700 2009 4 0 true false Mon Jun 11 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 20 10:55:27 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 20 10:56:15 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Sep 13 08:59:50 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 13 08:59:50 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Sep 09 22:01:46 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 09 22:01:46 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Sep 06 18:42:24 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 06 18:42:24 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun Nov 08 17:05:31 -0800 2009 Sun Sep 06 13:26:56 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 29 13:34:41 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Aug 05 14:36:29 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 05 14:36:29 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1580975
