Baxter, Charles Reserve Kit Saul and Patsy "Saul and Patsy, both from the East Coast, meet in college, fall in love, and settle down to married life in the Midwest [Five Oaks, Michigan]. There, the lives of children -- their own and others -- begin to invade their own lives. One of Saul's students, a deeply troubled sixteen-year-old boy, has become obsessed with Saul's life. And although Saul can't see it coming, the outcome of the boy's obsession will lead Saul to question everything he has always assumed about himself, his community, and his marriage. In a climax populated by demons looking for scapegoats, Saul and Patsy must finally confront a community of lost souls who have arrived on their doorstep, demanding entry. Saul and Patsy is part comedy and part horror story and, like The feast of love, both realistic and dreamlike. Its subjects -- love, parenting, social class, the fantasies of wealth, and the realities of loss -- are familiar as our lives"--Front flap. 317 2003 Adult Fiction Book Discussion Questions
