New York. 2000. January 2000. Knopf. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0375407316. 279 pages. hardcover. Jacket photograph by Michael Gesinger. keywords: Literature Scotland Women. FROM THE PUBLISHER-Jennifer Wilson is by vocation a disembodied voice, a radio announcer hiding from her life in a job that perfectly suits her constitution by allowing her to remain audible but invisible, protected by an invincible wall of anonymity. Then one day a new boarder appears at the house she shares in Glasgow, a stranger who she discovers is-preposterously, impossibly-Cyrano de Bergerac back from the dead. With terrific wit and compassion, Kennedy's novel tracks their painful movement towards connection, the progress of an improbable but deeply passionate love affair between a lost soul wandering the world trying to remember who he is-longing to be a hero, longing to be known-and a comically self-protected young woman who is equally unable to inhabit her own life, unable to feel anything at all, until she surrenders herself to the apparition of a great love. inventory #27449.
