Crane Spreads Wings

A Bigamist's Story

Edición de la obra Crane Spreads Wings

Jane Croy has just decided to run away from Alan, her husband of one month, because, as she says, he has misrepresented himself. He's full of hot air - always spouting off - and Jane hates spouters. Nevertheless, within hours she, too, is misrepresenting herself. When she runs into Gled Saltonstall, the bearish, slightly pudgy single father of an adorable little boy, she becomes Effie Crackalbee - indeed her given name - and immediately signs on as the boy's nanny for the summer, neglecting to mention that she isn't as single and unencumbered as she appears. When it turns out that Alan and Gled share the same summer community on the Massachusetts coast, Jane's little lie of omission begins to take on enormous dimension. At its heart this is a book about love; and about families, from the most conventional to the most bizarre.
