Michael Cunningham's celebrated novel is the story of two boyhood friends: Jonathan, lonely introspective, and unsure of himself; and Bobby, hip, dark, and inarticulate. In New York after college, Bobby moves in with Jonathan and his roomate, Clare, a veteran of the city's erotic wars. Bobby and Clare fall in love, scuttling the plans of Jonathan, who is gay, to father Clare's child. Then, when Clare and Bobby have a baby, the three move to a small house in upstate New York to raise "their" child together and, with an old friend, Alice, create a new kind of family. "A Home at the Edge of the World" masterfully depicts the charged, fragile relationships of urban life today.
