Some Sweet Day

First published in 1973, *Some Sweet Day* is the story of the Turnbolt family in 1944, as told by six year old Gatewood Turnbolt, the eldest son. His relationship with his father, Will Turnbolt, a volatile, sometimes violent man, is a combination of wariness and love.

"It is an evocative, painful and lovely book that captures the immediacy and bewilderment of a child facing harsh imponderables for the first time."--*Publishers Weekly*

"Without wasting a well-chosen word, Mr. Woolley fills in family ties, relationships with neighbors, the tone of the country. He suggests a raison d' etre for Will's bitterness if not for his brutality. And he gets it all together in a commanding novel of childhood that surges with life." --*New York Times Book Review*
