Richard Ford returns with four deftly linked Christmas stories narrated by the iconic Frank Bascombe.

The desolations of Sandy, which left countless lives unmoored, are the perfect backdrop for Ford - and Bascombe. With a flawless comedic sensibility and unblinking intelligence, these stories range over the full complement of universal subjects- ageing, race, loss, faith, marriage, the real estate debacle - the tumult of the world we live in.
