Richard FORD ... The Frank Bascombe Trilogy
RICHARD FORD’S Frank Bascombe Trilogy, spanning some 20 years, tells us that life is not a bed of roses but fraught with trials and tribulations. There are many things we do not understand about our lives even though we think we do. We somehow learn as we go along. With these novels, Ford captures the nuances and textures of life’s complexities as experienced by the protagonist Frank Bascombe.

Real gorgeous covers!
I don't know... that last one looks like a cover for a self-help spirituality book or something.
Hello Jeff - Now that you mention it, I think so, too! The first two covers are all right.
I've seen a lot of versions of the Independence day cover which are much nicer. I agree about the third book - does look like one of those inspirational book covers, though strangely uninspiring.
