He designed and built his family's dream home, working extra hours to pay off the adjustable rate mortgage he took on the property, convinced he is making every sacrifice for the happiness of his wife and son. Until, in a moment of fatigued inattention, shingling a roof in too-bright sunlight, he falls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn constant pain, addicted to painkillers at the cost of his relationships with his wife and son, Tom slowly comes to realize that he can never work again. If he is not a working man, who is he? He is not, he believes, the kind of person who lives in subsidized housing, though that is where he has ended up. He is not the kind of person who hatches a scheme to commit convenience-check fraud, together with neighbors he considers lowlifes, until he finds himself stealing his banker's trash.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWho is Tom Lowe, and who will he become? Can he find a way to reunite hands and heart, mind and spirit, to be once again a giver and not just a taker, to forge a self-acceptance deeper than pride?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndre Dubus III's soulful cast includes Trina, the struggling mom next door who sells her own plasma to get by; Dawn, the tough-talking owner of the local hairdressing salon; Jamie, a well-meaning pothead college student ready to stick it to \"the man\"; and a mix of strangers and neighbors who will never know the role they played in changing a life. To one man's painful moral journey, Dubus brings compassion with an edge of dark absurdity, forging a novel as absorbing as it is profound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePraise for Andre Dubus III\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Dubus's compassion is unsentimental and unblinking, total and unwavering.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e--Paul Harding, author of \u003cem\u003eThis Other Eden\u003c\/em\u003e (on \u003cem\u003eGone So Long\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Dubus can home in more quickly and efficiently on a character's inner life than any writer I've encountered in recent memory.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e--Jeff Turrentine, \u003cem\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/em\u003e (on \u003cem\u003eDirty Love\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"I can think of no novelist who renders the gritty, down-and-out corners of New England better than Dubus, and those beautifully specific, contained slices of American life open into whole universes of love, violence, guilt, and betrayal.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e--Chloe Schama, \u003cem\u003eNew Republic\u003c\/em\u003e (on \u003cem\u003eDirty Love\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.05 x 9.61 x 6.41 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 06, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47241250242809,"sku":"9781324000464","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/WW04S0ZGUzY4MlA1QUt5WGhJaFlSZz09.webp?v=1768580129","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/such-kindness-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
