The House at Belle Fontaine by Lily Tuck, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

'Tuck packs a small universe and decades of emotional history into each story.'-Stephan Lee, Entertainment Weekly Lily Tuck's The House at Belle Fontaine brings together ten of the award-winning author's most exquisitely-wrought and captivating stories. These intimate tales traverse time and continents, revealing apprehensions, passions, secrets, and tragedies among lovers, spouses, landlords and tenants, and lifelong friends. In crisp and penetrating prose, Tuck delicately probes at the lives of her characters as they navigate exotic locales and their own hearts: an artist learns that her deceased husband had an affair with their young houseguest; a retired couple strains to hold together their forty-year-old marriage on a ship bound for Antarctica; and a French family flees to Lima in the 1940s with devastating consequences for their daughter's young nanny. | The House at Belle Fontaine by Lily Tuck, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
