| Publisher Description: A FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD "Will be read in a century's time be anyone seeking to understand how we lived."--Detroit Free Press "A master American novelist." --Vanity Fair An epic chronicle of three generations of Washington power brokers and the women who loved them (except when they didn't), Echo House is Ward Just's masterpiece. The Washington Post described it as "a fascinating if ultimately painful fairy tale, complete with a family curse. The decline of the Behls represents the decline of Washington from the bright dawn of the American century into the gathering shadows of an alien new millennium." |
