Download or read book Trance written by Christopher Sorrentino and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2006-04-18 with total page 643 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1974: A tiny band of self-styled urban guerrillas, calling itself the Symbionese Liberation Army, abducts a newspaper heiress, who then abruptly announces that she has adopted the guerrilla name "Tania" and chosen to remain with her former captors. Has she been brainwashed? Coerced? Could she be sincere? Why would such a nice girl disavow her loving parents, her adoring fiancé, her comfortable home? Why would she suddenly adopt the SLA's cri de coeur, "Death to the Fascist Insect that Preys Upon the Life of the People"? Soon most of the SLA are dead, killed in a suicidal confrontation with police in Los Angeles, forcing Tania and her two remaining comrades--the pompous and abusive General Teko and his duplicitous lieutenant, Yolanda--into hiding, where they will remain for the next sixteen months. Trance, Christopher Sorrentino's mesmerizing and brilliant second novel, traces this fugitive period, leading the reader on a breathtaking, hilarious, and heartbreaking underground tour across a beleaguered America, in the company of scam artists, visionaries, cultists, and a mismatched gang of middle-class people who typify the guiding conceit of their time, that of self-renovation. Along the way he tells the story of a nation divided against itself--parents and children, men and women, black and white; a story of hidebound tradition and radical change, of truth and propaganda, of cynicism and idealism; a story as transfixing and relevant today as it was then. Insightful, compassionate, scathingly funny, and moving, Trance is a virtuoso performance, placing Christopher Sorrentino in the first rank of American novelists. Trance is a 2005 National Book Award Finalist for Fiction.

On the run from an abusive home and shunned by her family and friends, Arlana and her son seek refuge on a family farm. Heartbroken and with no one to turn to, she finds comfort in her new neighbours who welcome her with open arms. Finally trusted and accepted by those you'd least expect, she's able to settle in and find happiness. But happiness has a way of being short-lived when you're running from your past. Her family back home is unravelling at the seams. Her friendship takes a step in the wrong direction, and everything starts to come apart again. Will love be enough to mend her broken heart? Or will that very love threaten to topple all the happiness she's built? #2 NO TURNING BACK A moment of vulnerability. Enduring consequences. Can Arlana ever forgive herself? Josiah leaves when she needs him most.

So she clings to him and the warmth of their friendship. Josiah however, is cold and aloof. He's a whole different person than Arlana remembers and it's tearing her up inside. All he does is push her away. Arlana knows that the things that matter most are the child growing within her and her young son.
