The People Who Watched Her Pass By: A Novel

Salome Jensen is three years old when she is taken from her home by the man who fixes the hot water heater. As she drifts through launderettes and other people's homes, she develops a perspective of the world and an understanding of people which is more meaningful than the most erudite observer could muster. The People Who Watch Her Pass By is both rich with humour and startlingly incisive. A poignant new contribution to the body of literature of a well-respected prose craftsman.
