description: The story of two people at the beginning of a new sensibility in the world.Henry Purdue, home from the war, to an America ready to rest, an America justified by a successful end--a generous end, even--of a war worth fighting; the GI Bill paying his way through college, everything laid out for degree, home, family. And yet everything falling apart; he can' t study, he can' t function at all, it seems, in this suddenly foreign, suddenly unfriendly world he finds himself in.He meets Kirsten Margerholm--young, shy, centered around the conundrum of madness.They build a world that is messier, more unjustified than the world they see all around them. In the process they explore the relationship between a man and a woman, the meaning of work and love, and the right to be. All in the light of the stirrings of this new sensibility." Man is a mystery. The mystery must be solved, and if you spend your whole life trying to solve it, then don' t say you have wasted your time."- Dostoevsky
