The Flight of Jimmy Eagleson

Autor Jeff Delbel
en Limba Engleză Paperback

Jimmy Eagleson is a high-power, high-living lawyer with more money than he can spend, but life isn't good. His grinding disquiet from empty, stone-cold memories of his father is intensified by the bitterness of divorce and his skepticism toward the American business world he thrives in. Then, a trove of secret letters from World War II turns up.

Jimmy's flight takes him to a brawl in the Adirondacks' backwoods, sailing in the Gulf Of Mexico with a much younger woman, a showdown with his unscrupulous New York City adversary, back in time to Second World War Europe, and finally to a multifaceted and thought-provoking end.

"The Flight of Jimmy Eagleson soars into the literary canon on a breath of fresh air, with writing that's genuine and masterful, characters who are unabashedly honest and often delightfully warty, defying standard genre tropes as it tells a unique story that will appeal to readers of both genders who appreciate a great, gripping read. Eagerly awaiting more from this writer!"
- Elizabeth Haydon, Author of The Symphony of Ages series.

"It's a rare book that tells a compelling story and brings to life even a single character. The Flight of Jimmy Eagleson pulls off both. The story is captivating, and Jimmy, his colorful friends, and his nemesis come unforgettably alive. Even the novel's locales, especially New York City and the Lake Champlain region, breathe."
- David Connelly, Leader of a Pulitzer Prize-winning team, 1981.

"With lucid prose and vivid description, The Flight of Jimmy Eagleson is a skillfully crafted story you will want to read more than once."
- Glenn Dalton, song writer. "Taxi Dancer" "Between the Lies."
