She also marries Leviticus Sprague, and her mixed race marriage (and mixed race child), further set her apart from her adopted community. With her past shrouded in mystery, Truitt opens - and then rules over - a candlepin bowling alley. 'Bowlaway” begins with the mysterious arrival of Bertha Truitt in Salford, Massachusetts, in the early 20th century. Her new book, 'Bowlaway,” will delight readers of her previous novels, 'The Giant's House” and 'Niagara Falls All Over Again,” as well as those discovering her prowess as a novelist for the first time or after reading her award-winning 2014 short story collection, 'Thunderstruck.” It's been more than 17 years since Elizabeth McCracken - Iowa Writers' Workshop alum and acclaimed writer of fiction long and short as well as a beautiful, heart-rending memoir - published a novel.
