From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sportswriter comes a deeply personal account of his parents - an intimate portrait of American mid-twentieth century life, and a celebration of family love. Richard Ford's parents were not practised self-explainers or confiders. He has therefore investigated their lives from anecdote, history and conjecture. Written with precision, power, humanity and intelligence, Between Them is both a son's act of great love and a searing meditation on family. Longlisted for the Gordon Burn Prize 2017.
