<div><i>Among the Ten-Thousand Things</i> chronicles the breakup of a family in contemporary New York following a devastating extra-marital affair. Jack is a sculptor charming and vain, visionary and vulnerable in equal measure whose controversial work wins him attention from a young admirer. When JackâEuros spurned lover sends his wife Deb a box of their correspondence to their apartment (and after it is accidentally intercepted by their children), Deb takes refuge with nine-year-old Kay and eleven-year-old Simon on Rhode Island where they become embroiled with a local family that hauntingly reflects their own.<br><br>At once a mordant moral vision of modern family life and an ironic dissection of our self-deceptions, Julia PierpontâEuros first novel is reminiscent of Jonathan Franzen and Jonathan DeeâEuros blistering portraits of post 9/11 American family life. Brimming with lyricism and emotional intelligence, <i>Among the Ten-Thousand Things</i> is an astonishingly original and sure-footed debut that reflects our world back to us with extraordinary force.</div>
