"Lyrical . . . Memorable and accomplished."- The New York Times Book Review "Novels don't come more deeply felt than Cunningham's extraordinary four-character study . . . The writing [is] a constant pleasure, flowing and yet dense with incisive images and psychological nuance."- Matthew Gilbert, The Boston Globe "The story of Jonathan, Clare, Bobby, and Alice is also the story of the 70's and 80's in America-and vice versa. It is destined to last."- David Leavitt, author of The Marble Quilt "Cunningham has written a novel that all but reads itself."- The Washington Post Book World "Once in a great while, there appears a novel so spellbinding in its beauty and sensitivity that the reader devours it nearly whole, in great greedy gulps, and feels stretched sore afterwards, having been expanded and filled. Such a book is [this one]."- Sherry Rosenthal, San Diego Tribune "Luminous with the wonders and anxieties that make childhood mysterious . . . A Home at the End of the World is a remarkable accomplishment."- Laura Frost, San Francisco Review "Brilliant and satisfying . . . As good as anything I've read in years . . .

An important book."- Charleston Sunday News and Courier "Cunningham writes with power and delicacy . . .

Synopsis
From Michael Cunningham, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of "The Hours," comes this widely praised novel of two boyhood friends: Jonathan, lonely, introspective, and unsure of himself; and Bobby, hip, dark, and inarticulate. In New York after college, Bobby moves in with Jonathan and his roommate, Clare, a veteran of the city's erotic wars. Bobby and Clare fall in love, scuttling the plans of Jonathan, who is gay, to father Clare's child. Then, when Clare and Bobby have a baby, the three move to a small house upstate to raise "their" child together and, with an odd friend, Alice, create a new kind of family.
