In New York after college, Bobby moves in with Jonathan and his roommate, Clare, a veteran of the city's erotic wars. Bobby and Clare fall in love, scuttling the plans of Jonathan, who is gay, to father Clare's child. Then, when Clare and Bobby have a baby, the three move to a small house upstate to raise "their" child together and, with an odd friend, Alice, create a new kind of family. A Home at the End of the World masterfully depicts the charged, fragile relationships of urban life today. 1216429 book 1990 A Home at the End of the World: A Novel total:2271|5:22|4:36|3:22|2:9|1:0| 2271 8475 2950 222 5 5 false false Wed May 30 12:43:52 -0700 2007 Fri Jun 01 12:17:02 -0700 2007
