Synopsis
Julia Glass, following up her National Book Award-winning THE THREE JUNES, returns with another lengthy and lavish novel. THE WHOLE WORLD OVER follows pastry chef Greenie Duquette as she leaves Manhattan and her passionless marriage to work for the rakish governor of New Mexico. With 9/11 serving as a dramatic impetus, Glass tracks a delicious tangle of characters caught up love affairs and other complicated entertainments. Along the way, Glass never misses an opportunity to riff on a fascinating tangent--it's all part of her unique take on the American cacophony.
