The Distance from the Heart of Things
New York Houghton Mifflin Company: A Mariner Book 1996 0395860318 / 9780395860311 First paperback edition Trade Paperback Fine
255 pp.; 22 cm. Tight, clean copy. "This remarkable first novel is told in the radiant voice of Mavis Black, returning to the loamy soil of her South Carolina home, her everyone-knows-your-business home town, and her eccentric family. Blessed with a bewitching way with words and a powerfully loving heart, Mavis has come home to be the accountant for her grandfather Punk's prosperous vineyard. But her homecoming also sparks an accounting of a different kind, as Mavis charts the emotional distance she has traveled from the people she loves most. Her childlike mother drifts through days dreaming of her husband, who died before Mavis was born. Her practical Aunt Hazel is planning an elaborate wedding that will turn out to be the high point of her marriage. Her prodigal Uncle Owen tempts fate with wild midnight rides. And tugging hardest for her love is the domineering figure of her grandfather, Punk, who plans to make Mavis his sole heir. Decidedly independent but deeply attached to her family, brimming with confidence, humor, and goodwill, Mavis takes the measure of her relatives' unique charms and foibles, bringing her uncommon wisdom to bear. Told with warmth, wit, and brio, The Distance from the Heart of Things is a glorious celebration of young womanhood and the strength of loving ties. / Ashley Warlick is the author of The Summer After June and The Distance from the Heart of Things, for which she became the youngest ever recipient of the Houghton Mifflin Literary Fellowship. She graduated from Dickinson College in 1994 and now lives in Greenville, South Carolina, with her family." - Publisher.
