Overview
Now finally collected into a single volume, the "Sherbrookes" trilogy-"Possession," "Sherbrookes," and "Stillness"-is Nicholas Delbanco's most celebrated achievement. Centering upon one New England clan and their estate in southwestern Vermont-a full thousand acres, including the bleak and chilly Big House, from which the volatile Sherbrookes have such trouble escaping-these books form a virtuoso portrait of the love, pride, resentment, and even madness we inherit from our families. Written in his characteristically opulent, bravura prose, Delbanco is here revealed as a Henry James for our time: a passionate cataloger of human strength and frailty. Edited and revised by the author some thirty years after its first publication, the trilogy-"made new" as the single-volume "Sherbrookes"-can now be rediscovered by a new generation of readers.
