Lucas, an only child whose father died several years earlier in a coa-mine blast, lives with the legacy of loss. Despite his heavy inheritance, Lucas is still just a thirteen-year-old boy puzzling out the world around him. He shuttles between the homes of his family elders whose old-world ways he can&#8217;t quite understand. When Zoli, his mother&#8217;s embittered admirer, takes it upon himself to find his lost love, violence and retribution escalate until no one, especially Lucas, is safe. As he struggles to find his place in this unsettling landscape, Lucas&#8217;s extended family and close-knit ethnic community circle around him. Set against the collapse of the industry that has sustained the family and the town for generations, <i>When We Get There</i> is a startling tale of one family&#8217;s long winter&#8212;and the spring that eventually comes hard on winter&#8217;s heels. </div></div> 767832 1 5 2007 When We Get There: A Novel total:78|5:35|4:23|3:17|2:3|1:0| 78 324 125 20 5 1 false false Tue May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Fri May 04 09:37:56 -0700 2007 Sat Aug 25 19:36:00 -0700 2007
