At the Far End of Nowhere

Más información sobre el libro

Young Baby Boomer Lissa Power struggles to grow up during the tumultuous 1950s, 60s, and 70s under the guidance of her father, Stouten--a watchmaker, inventor, and mechanical wizard easily old enough to be her grandfather. When Lissa's mother dies, the reclusive old watchmaker remains determined to protect his beloved daughter from all harm. As Lissa matures, Stouten's authority becomes increasingly restrictive; his old-fashioned worldview chafes against a backdrop of fast-changing 20th century values. Here, At the Far End of Nowhere, father and daughter weave fact with fiction and merge reality with fantasy to reveal a broader truth.
