As sure as the sun rose up like a peach pie baked fresh every morning, come six-o'clock Sunday evening, the Goodpudding family gathered around the table for dinner. They all agreed, the best part of the meal was Great-Aunt Gladdie's pie. But what kind of pie should she make? Would it be lemon meringue for Uncle Walter? Coconut cream for Grandma Goodpudding? Pinky pretzel pie for the twins? On that, the Goodpuddings could never agree. To Gladdie's dismay, every Sunday night a fight broke out. A real foot-stomping, table-thumping, shake-the-chandelier rhubarb. It was a tradition. But the ruckus was getting out of hand. When the pie police arrived, Gladdie realized she had to do something drastic to keep the Goodpudding peace.

In the first century AD, Publius Ovidius Naso, the most urbane and irreverant poet of imperial Rome, was banished to a remote village on the edge of the Black Sea. From these sparse facts, one of our most distinguished novelists has fashioned an audacious and supremely moving work of fiction. Marooned on the edge of the known world, exiled from his native tongue, Ovid depends on the kindness of barbarians who impate their dead and converse with the spirit world. But then he becomes the guardian of a still more savage creature, a feral child who has grown up among deer. What ensues is a luminous encounter between civilization and nature, as enacted by a poet who once catalogued the treacheries of love and a boy who slowly learns how to give it.
