Carthage Author: Joyce Carol Oates

ISBN: 9780007485758 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 400 Published: 23 October 2014 Country of Publication: GB Dimensions (cm): 19.7 x 13.0 x 3.1 Description:

A young girl's disappearance rocks a community and a family, in this stirring examination of grief, faith, justice and the atrocities of war, from literary legend Joyce Carol Oates. Zeno Mayfield's daughter has gone missing in the wilds of the Adirondacks. But when the community of Carthage joins a father's frantic search for the girl, they discover instead the unlikeliest of suspects – a decorated Iraq veteran with close ties to the Mayfield family. As grisly evidence mounts against the troubled war hero, the family must wrestle with the possibility of having lost a daughter forever.

‘Carthage' plunges us deep into the psyche of a wounded young Corporal, haunted by unspeakable acts of wartime aggression, while unraveling the story of a disaffected young girl whose exile from her family may have come long before her disappearance.

Delving further into territory explored in ‘Gone Girl' and ‘The Lovely Bones', the dark and riveting, ‘Carthage' is a powerful addition to the Joyce Carol Oates canon, one that explores the human capacity for violence, love and forgiveness, and asks it it's ever truly possible to come home again.
