In an ordinary suburban house, on a lovely tree-lined street, in the middle of 1970s America, lived the five beautiful, dreamy Lisbon sisters, whose doomed fates indelibly marked the neighbuorhood boys who to this day continue to obsess over them. A story of love and repression, fantasy and terror, sex and death, memory, and longing. It is at its core a mystery story: a heart-rending investigation into the impenetrable, life-altering secrets of American adolescence.

That is a real disappointment. It was going to be my first visit to a book group. There's no chance of Mr Gwyn being reinstated later on?

It was a question of availability that decided us, so to answer your question ... possibly ... but that is in the hands of the publishers.
The book is not available? It's on Amazon. I assume you must mean something else, but I can't think what. Forgive me if it is just obtuseness on my part.

It was more the cost, it being only available at the present time, in hard cover. Noting your reference to Amazon, could I draw your attention to http://www.southmanchesterbookgroup.uk/p/buying-books.html ?
