Pu Bergman is eight years old when Mother rents Pastor Dahlberg's ramshackle house for the summer. Pu is a Sunday's child--one said to be endowed with special gifts of sensitivity, clairvoyance, and the ability to see ghosts. As the novel opens, his heart is full of anticipation as he goes to the train station to greet his father, who is to join them. But when Father arrives, he is strangely distant, melancholy, and severe. Over the next twenty-four hours, Pu's world is marked indelibly. In beautifully realized set pieces that reveal the Bergman family landscape and culminate in a train trip Pu and his father take together, Pu encounters death and the infirmities of aging, is humiliated by his terrorizing older brother, has his first thoughts of sex, dwells on ghost stories the servants tell, and witnesses the painful arguments between his parents.
