Stories of true emotional depth rarely cross her desk. But when a young writer named Tupper Daniels walks in, bearing an unfinished novel, Elizabeth is drawn to both the novelist and his story--a lyrical tale about a man in love with more than one woman at once. Tupper's manuscript unlocks memories of her own secretive father, who himself may have been a bigamist. As Elizabeth and Tupper search for the perfect dénouement, their affair, too, approaches a most unexpected and poignant coda. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA brilliant debut from one of our most celebrated authors, \u003ci\u003e A Bigamist's Daughter \u003c\/i\u003eis \"a wise, sad, witty novel about men and women, God, hope, love, illusion, and fiction itself\" (\u003ci\u003eNewsweek\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlice McDermott\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of several novels, including \u003ci\u003eThe Ninth Hour\u003c\/i\u003e;\u003ci\u003e Someone\u003c\/i\u003e;\u003ci\u003e After This\u003c\/i\u003e;\u003ci\u003e Charming Billy\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the 1998 National Book Award; \u003ci\u003eAt Weddings and Wakes\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eThat Night\u003c\/i\u003e--all published by FSG. \u003ci\u003eThat Night, At Weddings and Wakes\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eAfter This\u003c\/i\u003e were finalists for the Pulitzer Prize.
