"That summer in Frenchtown in the days when I knew my name but did not know who I was... "
"From the piazza late in the afternoon I watched for my father, waiting for him to come home from the Monument Comb Shop. No matter how tired he was, his step was quick. He'd always look up, expecting to see me, and that's why I was there, not wanting to disappoint him or myself."
In the summer of his first paper route, as he walks the tenement canyons of his hometown, Eugene begins his journey of self-awareness. It is a summer of Sahara afternoons, of lingering evenings, full of questions and mysteries. It is the summer of his first love, of expeditions with his boisterous cousins, of exciting encounters with friends and bitter ones with enemies. It is also the summer of tragedy for his favourite uncle. But it is most especially the summer of the airplane and the bond it creates between Eugene and the distant, enigmatic father he adores.
Lyrical and hauntingly beautiful, this is a touching,chronicle of a son's relationship with his father.
