Chocolate Days, Popsicle Weeks - Hardcover

Best-selling winner of the Houghton Mifflin Literary Fellowship Award, Chocolate Days, Popsicle Weeks tells the love story of Fitzie and Janice Fitzpatrick, Silent-Generation Boston Irish Catholics who run away to make it big in New York in the Sixties. "An oft-told tale" one reviewer noted, "but not the way Hannibal tells it. . . . Again and again, I felt those frissons of pleasure which superior writing always sends down my back." How these not-so-silent, resilient young lovers manage to save their marriage from the wrecking-ball of Success makes for exhilarating reading-in what the Library Journal called "A great book."

Edward Hannibal lives with his wife, Maggie, in East Hampton, New York. His other novels include Dancing Man, Liberty Square Station, Blood Feud (with R. Boris) and A Trace of Red. In his latest, The Collar, two veteran policemen, both survivors of childhood abuse, join forces and bring a guilty priest to a strange, bleated justice.
