A Contemporary, Adult Fiction, Family book. It's never too late to try a new approach to learning anything, and just because one...
The new novel from the best-selling author of Broken for You spins the stories of a dedicated teacher, his enigmatic son, and a wartime survivor into an affecting tale of love, loss, and handwriting. Charles Marlow teaches his high school English students that language will expand their worlds. But linguistic precision cannot help him connect with his autistic son, or with his ex-wife, who abandoned their shared life years before, or even with his college-bound daughter who has just flown the nest. He’s at the end of a road he’s traveled on autopilot for years when a series of events forces him to think back on the lifetime of decisions and indecisions that have brought him to this point. With the help of an ambitious art student, an Italian-speaking nun, and the memory of a boy in a white suit who inscribed his childhood with both solace and sorrow, Charles may finally be able to rewrite the script of his life.Sometimes the most powerful words are the ones you’re still searching for.

Why is this happening? Why is this happening now? Only by looking backward are we able answer those questions, only through the assist of memory. And who knows how memory will answer? Who will it blame? Who will it forgive? Stephanie Kallos, Language Arts //
***** literary Brilliance! ***** "My feeling: it's never too late to try a new approach to learning anything, and just because one has no expectation doesn't mean one has no hope."LANGUAGE ARTS: A novel as intelligent as it is emotionally satisfying and realistic; encompassing complexities between various definitions/models of relationships,... I'm here to prove once again how hard it is to speak--or write--about a book we love. I've listened to all Kallos's book, all beautifully read by Tavia Gilbert, and it's Gilbert's reading that has taken this listening experience to another level for me. Her performance is seductive--spot on characters, perfect inflections, beautiful... I found LANGUAGE ARTS to be stunning and heartbreaking.
