Hebert's previous Darby book, Live Free or Die, recounted the ill-fated love between Freddie Elman, son of the town trash collector, and Lilith Salmon, child of Upper Darby gentility. At its conclusion, Lilith died giving birth to their son. As \u003ci\u003eSpoonwood\u003c\/i\u003e opens, Freddie, consumed by grief and anger and struggling with alcoholism, is not prepared to be a father to Birch. But as both his family and Lilith's begin to maneuver for custody of the child, Freddie embarks on a course of action that satisfies none of them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnce again, Hebert masterfully conveys the natural and social landscape of contemporary rural New England. Grounded in complex, fully realized characters, \u003ci\u003eSpoonwood\u003c\/i\u003e offers Hebert's most optimistic vision yet of acceptance and accommodation across class lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ernest Hebert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 081958004X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780819580047\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wesleyan University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/03\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.90d","brand":"Ernest Hebert","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48174890320127,"sku":"9780819580047","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_45daeb58-d4ea-4518-b182-4c1f1a298398.jpg?v=1771331195","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/spoonwood-ernest-hebert-9780819580047","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
