by Annie Proulx

Add to wish list

Here is the critically acclaimed first novel by the bestselling author of The Shipping News. Postcards is the story of the Blood family, New England farmers who must grudgingly face the onslaught of modernity, and with it the forces that threaten their own extinction. As the family slowly disintegrates, its members struggle to regain a sense of home and place that may soon be forever lost.

Reader reviews for Postcards

From the publisher

Pulitzer Prize-winning author Annie Proulx's first novel, Postcards, tells the mesmerizing tale of Loyal Blood, who misspends a lifetime running from a crime so terrible that it renders him forever incapable of touching a woman.

From the bestselling author of Brokeback Mountain comes Postcards, the tale of the Blood family, New England farmers who must confront the twentieth century--and their own extinction. As the family slowly disintegrates, its members struggle valiantly against the powerful forces of loneliness and necessity, seeking a sense of home and place forever lost.

Loyal Blood, eldest son, is forced to abandon the farm when he takes his lover's life, thus beginning a quintessentially American odyssey of solitude and adventure. Yearning for love, yet forced by circumstance to be always alone, Loyal comes to symbolize the alienation and frustration behind the American dream.
