A Death in the Family
Leather Bound
(Franklin Library Jan. 1, 1979)
Published in 1957, two years after its author's death at the age of forty-five, A Death in the Family remains a near-perfect work of art, an autobiographical novel that contains one of the most evocative depictions of loss and grief ever written. As Jay Follet hurries back to his home in Knoxville, Tennessee, he is killed in a car accident—a tragedy that destroys not only a life, but also the domestic happiness and contentment of a young family. A novel of great courage, lyric force, and powerful emotion, A Death in the Family is a masterpiece of American literature. The Franklin Library “Limited Edition” series was printed in the mid1970’s using high quality acid-free, neutral paper to promote longevity and true collector value. In addition it has: Full leather binding; Embossed gilt design on front and back boards and spine; Ribbed spine; Full gilt page block; Silk moire end papers; attached red satin page marker. This series is based on books that have won the Pulitzer Prize.
