With a new introduction by Max Evans.
"Some Sweet Day" is the story of the Turnbolt family in 1944, as told by six year old Gatewood Turnbolt, the eldest son. His relationship with his father, Will Turnbolt, a volatile, sometimes violent man, is a combination of wariness and love.
"Without wasting a well-chosen word, Mr. Woolley fills in family ties, relationships with neighbors, the tone of the country. He suggests a raison d' être for Will's bitterness if not for his brutality. And he gets it all together in a commanding novel of childhood that surges with life." (New York Times Book Review)
With this new Southwestern edition, "Some Sweet Day" comes home to Texas to take its place with the well-beloved classics of the great Southwest.
