Rent Norumbega Park: A Novel

Synopsis

Richie Palumbo, the most ordinary of men, gets lost one night in 1969 while driving with his family. He finds himself in Norumbega---a gorgeous, hidden town on the far edges of Boston's western suburbs. He sees a venerable old house and, without quite knowing why, decides that he must have it.  Richie's wild dream sets his family on a forty-year odyssey in which they confront class and parental dreams, sex and spirituality, and the way hopes conflict with reality. Norumbega Park is a brilliant, sensuous drama of suburban angst---a novel that mines the depths of desire and its abiding consequences.
