Jennette Lee, who taught English at Smith College, works a quiet miracle of attention. A Greek fruit-seller in Chicago — a man the whole hurrying city has walked past a thousand times without seeing — becomes the one person who notices, and acts, when a wealthy family's child goes missing. Gentle, humane, and sharply observed, this edition presents the complete and unabridged novel, newly typeset and illustrated with 30 full-page color plates.
