Title
The Family
Description
The first novel, chronologically, of what are known as Plante's Francouer Novels. A finalist for the 1979 National Book Award in Fiction (hardcover). From Gale Literature: "'The Family' describes the emotional breakdown of Reena Francoeur, Daniel's mother, but the story is really about the father, Jim Francoeur, the tool-shop worker whose personality dominates the family. His hard work over forty years seems to pay off when it looks like he will become a foreman and his campaign as a Republican candidate seems promising, too. However, when his ambitions collapse, he falls into unemployment, debt, and depression, bringing the family down with him."
