Mr. Splitfoot: Available Copies

Item in acceptable condition! Textbooks may not include supplemental items i.e. CDs, access codes etc.

An Indie Next Pick This spellbinder is storytelling at its best. Publishers Weekly, starred review If I could long-distance mesmerize you, dear reader, into picking up this book and buying it and reading it at once, believe me: I would. Kelly Link A contemporary gothic from an author in the company of Kelly Link and Aimee Bender, Mr. Splitfoottracks two women in two times as they march toward a mysterious reckoning. Ruth and Nat are orphans, packed into a house full of abandoned children run by a religiousfanatic. To entertain their siblings, they channel the dead. Decades later, Ruth s niece, Cora, finds herself accidentally pregnant. After years of absence, Aunt Ruth appears, mute and full of intention. She is on a mysterious mission, leading Cora on an odyssey across the entire state of New York on foot.Where is Ruth taking them?Where has she been?And who or what has she hidden in the woods at the end of the road?In an ingeniously structured dual narrative, two separate timelines move toward the same point of crisis. Their merging will upend and reinvent the whole. A subversive ghost story that is carefully plotted and elegantly constructed, Mr. Splitfootwill set your heart racing and your brain churning. Mysteries abound, criminals roam free, utopian communities show their age, the mundane world intrudes on the supernatural and vice versa.Making good on the extraordinary acclaim for her previous books, Samantha Hunt continues to be dazzling (Vanity Fair) and to deliver fiction that is daring and delicious (Chicago Tribune).
