Produktbeschreibung
When Sean learns that Lari Edison, owner of the Haunted Bookshop, his childhood comic book store has died, he is transported back to the autumn of 1975, when his ten-year-old preoccupations with great white sharks and superheroes were upended by his stumbling upon information that could both harm his family and ignite tensions across his working-class town. While Sean struggles with his newfound power, the mystery around him, filled with unforgettable characters, unfurls, to create a sweeping story of childhood imagination, hard choices and a vanished way of life along the fishing docks of the Fraser River. In The Marvels of Youth, Tim Bowling has given readers a powerful, mesmerizing novel, much like the river that flows through it.
