Keith Donohue has been praised for his vivid imagination and for evoking “the otherworldly with humor and the ordinary with wonder” (Audrey Niffenegger). His first novel, <i>The Stolen Child</i>, was a national bestseller, and his second novel, <i>Angels of Destruction</i>, was hailed as “a magical tale of love and redemption that is as wonderfully written as it is captivating” (<i>Pittsburgh Post-Gazette</i>). <i>Centuries of June</i> is a bold departure, a work of dazzling breadth and technical virtuosity.<br><br>Set in the bathroom of an old house just before dawn on a night in June, <i>Centuries of June</i> is a black comedy about a man who is attempting to tell the story of how he ended up on the floor with a hole in his head. But he keeps getting interrupted by a series of suspects—eight women lying in the bedroom just down the hall. Each woman tells a story drawn from five centuries of American myth and legend in a wild medley of styles and voices.<br><i><br>Centuries of June</i> is a romp through history, a madcap murder mystery, an existential ghost story, and a stunning tour de force at once ingenious, sexy, inspiring, and ultimately deeply moving.<br><br><br><i>From the Hardcover edition.</i>
