<b>For fans of Jennifer Egan, Jonathan Franzen, Lorrie Moore, and Curtis Sittenfeld,<i>Among the Ten Thousand Things</i> is a dazzling first novel, a portrait of an American family on the cusp of irrevocable change, and a startlingly original story of love and time lost.</b><br><b>&nbsp;</b><br>Jack Shanley is a well-known New York artist, charming and vain, who doesnâEurot mean to plunge his family into crisis. His wife, Deb, gladly left behind a difficult career as a dancer to raise the two children she adores. In the ensuing years, she has mostly avoided coming face-to-face with the weaknesses of the man she married. But then an anonymously sent package arrives in the mail: a cardboard box containing sheaves of printed emails chronicling JackâEuros secret life. The package is addressed to Deb, but itâEuros delivered into the wrong hands: her childrenâEuros.<br>&nbsp;<br>With this vertiginous opening begins a debut that is by turns funny, wise, and indescribably moving. As the Shanleys spin apart into separate orbits, leaving New York in an attempt to regain their bearings, fifteen-year-old Simon feels the allure of adult freedoms for the first time, while eleven-year-old Kay wanders precariously into a grown-up world she canâEurot possibly understand. Writing with extraordinary precision, humor, and beauty, Julia Pierpont has crafted a timeless, hugely enjoyable novel about the bonds of family lifeâEuro"their brittleness, and their resilience.<br>&nbsp;<br><b>Advance praise for <i>Among the Ten Thousand Things</i></b><br>&nbsp;<br>âEuro²This book is one of the funniest and most emotionally honest IâEurove read in a long time."<b>âEuro"Jonathan Safran Foer</b><br>&nbsp;<br>âEuro²Remarkable . . .
