Description:
Matters of Chance is a glorious, captivating novel about Morgan and Maud Shurtliff, who fall in love and marry in the years before World War II. Unable to have children of their own, Morgan and Maud adopt twin girls. The four go home to their beautiful house in the country outside of New York City and begin to settle in to what they hope will be a long and happy life. When the twins are still young, Morgan is called to serve in World War II, leaving Maud to raise their daughters alone. Jeannette Haien has rendered Morgan's war experiences with astonishing detail, just as she has captured the American postwar era with a precision that is unrivaled in recent fiction.
Expand description
In chronicling the joys and sorrows, the triumphs and disappointments of Maud and Morgan's marriage, Jeannette Haien has written a love story to savor. Suspenseful, romantic in the truest sense, heartbreaking, and always engrossing, Matters of Chance brings to mind the best of Edith Wharton in the broadness of its scope, in its unforgettable descriptions of an age, and in the vividness of its characters.
