Synopsis
In a suburban town, Sarah betrays her unsatisfactory husband by having an affair with Todd, whose wife is having her own qualms about their marriage. Todd's friend Larry is an ex-cop with a violent streak that surfaces when a convicted sex offender moves into the neighborhood. In a departure from his cheerful earlier novels, Tom Perrotta writes about troubled relationships, adultery, and pedophilia. A New York Times Notable Book for 2004.

Publisher's Note
A group of young suburban parents, including a handsome stay-at-home dad, a former feminist, an internet surfer, and an over-structured mom, finds its sleepy existence shattered when a convicted child molester moves back into town and two of the parents have an affair.

Industry reviews
"[A] complex, fast-moving plot....An accomplished comic novelist extends his range brilliantly. Perrotta's best."
Kirkus  (12/01/2003)

"LITTLE CHILDREN raises the question of how a writer can be so entertainingly vicious and yet so full of fellow feeling. Bracingly tender moments stud Perrotta's satire....[W]hat is Tom Perrotta but an American Chekhov whose characters even at their most ridiculous seem blessed and ennobled by a luminous human aura? They're all chumps, it is true, but we wish them well."
New York Times Book Review - Will Blythe (03/14/2004)

"The humor is sometimes cruel, but Perrotta never betrays the complexity of his characters."
New Yorker  (03/29/2004)

"LITTLE CHILDREN is satire, Perrotta's take on the gnawing dissatisfactions of family life, the tyrannical control small kids exert over their parents..., and the inescapable sense that there is something better out there. But, as you'd expect from a writer who's shown the generosity Perrotta has, it's compassionate satire. LITTLE CHILDREN is a withering take on suburbia but--and this is what differentiates it from all the other withering takes on suburbia--its view is from the inside....Perrotta gives a sympathetic portrait of being trapped in the good life. He even manages to extend his sympathy to the most despised character in the book, a convicted flasher....[I]t marks a leap for Perrotta, a suggestion that there may be bigger books inside him. It is also that rarity, a book that understands the mature wisdom of compromise without denying any of the accompanying melancholy."
Salon - Charles Taylor (04/15/2004)

This is a lot of two (2) HARDCOVER editions with dust jackets by TOM PERROTTA published by St. Martin's Press.

The first book is LITTLE CHILDREN published in 2004. This is a stated 4th printing. This book was the basis for the 2006 film of the same name starring Kate Winslet and Patrick Wilson. Both the book and the dust jacket are in just about near-new condition with a touch of light edgewear to the top edge of the dust jacket and a couple of tiny spots of discoloration along the top page edge. Otherwise, this is a clean, tight, likely unread copy with NO price-clip, remainder markings, or tears.

The second book is THE ABSTINENCE TEACHER published in October 2007. This is a stated first edition/first printing with full numberline. Both the book and the dust jacket are in near-fine condition with a touch of slight edgewear to the dust jacket and a couple of small spots of rubbing to the top page edge. Otherwise, this is a clean, tight copy with NO price-clip, remainder markings, or tears.

A crisp pair of hardcover copies suitable for both fans and collectors offered here at one bargain price!
