Description ▲
An Amazon Best Book of July 2017: Nimble, playful and a little bit mischievous, Spoonbenders is a novel full of loveable eccentric characters trying to prove their worth to their family, the mafia, the government and to talk show hosts. The trick is, they’re a bit extraordinary. Sure, grandpa might only be a con man with fast hands, but his daughter detects lies, his son can predict the future, and his deceased wife was a real psychic and his grandson might be too. Over the span of decades, Daryl Gregory weaves a story of the birth of the “Amazing Telemachus Family,” their rise to international acclaim, their tragic demise and their chance at redemption a generation later. Heroic, comic and grounded in the intricate details of storytelling, Spoonbenders spins a genial family saga into a story of adventure, soviet intrigue and shady cover-ups. --Al Woodworth
