Synopsis
Born on an immigrant ship off the coast of Palestine in 1947, Helprin's hero is adopted by a wealthy American couple, who raise him in a life of privilege in a town on the Hudson. But Marshall Pearl is a seeker, and his quest for love and truth form the basis for this fanciful novel that is populated with devils, angels, holy fools, and madmen.
