About this product
Product Information
A luminous work of fiction that celebrates the uncommon in common lives, and the redemptive power of love. Mary and O'Neil frequently marveled at how, of all the lives they might have led, they had somehow found this one together. When they met at the Philadelphia high school where they'd come to teach, each had suffered a profound loss that had not healed. How likely was it that they could learn to trust, much less love, again? In Justin Cronin's tender, heartwise debut, eight stories trace the lives of these two vulnerable young people as they rediscover in each other a world alive with promise and hope. From the formative experiences of their early adulthood to marriage, parenthood, and beyond, each chapter illuminates the moments of grace that enable Mary and O'Neil to make peace with the deep emotional legacies that haunt them: the sudden, mysterious death of O'Neil's parents, Mary's long-ago decision to end a pregnancy, O'Neil's sister's battle with illness and a troubled marriage. Like the work of Alice Hoffman, Cronin's fiction resonates with magical nuance and unexpected encounters -- a beautiful young girl who appears to Mary one night, draped in a cloud of stars; an autistic child who reveals a life-changing secret; a woman O'Neil mistakenly dials the night their first child is born -- that edify this young couple's intimate bond and affirm their faith in the future.

Reviews
"His prose is quite moving and beautiful ... playing out variations on the theme of the inability of parents and children to truly know one another, Cronin is capable of creating fresh poignancy." -- Publishers Weekly Advance praise for Mary and O'Neil: "Mary and O'Neil is, pure and simple, one of the most tender, moving, and beautiful books I have read in years. Justin Cronin writes about love -- between parents and children, between siblings, and, yes, between lovers -- with a wisdom and humor that's rare." -- Chris Bohjalian, author of Trans-Sister Radio and Midwives "Justin Cronin's unusual and admirable book offers -- in the tradition of Elizabeth Strout's Amy and Isabelle -- a rare combination of brilliant prose, precise feeling, and omniscient wisdom regarding the complicated bonds between generations. A wonderful debut." -- Andrea Barrett, National Book Award-winning author of Ship Fever and The Voyage of the Narwhal "Mary and O'Neil is written with an aching beauty -- for the passage of time, the yearning for peace, the haunting sorrows and small joys that all of us know in life. There is wisdom in these pages. There is compassion and understanding. But most of all, this book contains genuine love. My hat is off to Justin Cronin. Thank you for giving such a gorgeous book to the world." -- Chris Offutt, author of Kentucky Straight and Out of the Woods "Suffused with a light grace which belies the formal elegance of its construction, Justin Cronin's Mary and O'Neil is that rare thing: a wholly engrossing story of the ordinary life. " -- Madison Smartt Bell, author of All Souls' Rising "Justin Cronin writes beautiful prose that aches with its sense of passing time. He understands youth and he writes with clarity of age. He evokes with precision the glories of the senses. He was born to tell stories, and he narrates his characters with penetrating wit as well as loyalty. His book has left me gasping with admiration, with appreciation, and of course with envy." -- Frederick Busch, author of The Night Inspector "A writer of astonishing gifts. Mary and O'Neil is honest, meticulous, and ultimately heartbreaking." -- Gary Krist, author of Chaos Theory "Mary and O'Neil is one of those rare novels whose characters and events are so vivid they seem to become part of one's own life. Justin Cronin demonstrates an extraordinary instinct for the essential moment, the resonant line, and the lasting image. This is a wonderful novel, luminous and compassionate, and very hard to put down." -- Tom Drury, author of The End of Vandalism
