Robert Cormier’s first novel and one of only a few intended for adults, Now and at the Hour tells the story of Alph LeBlanc, a mill-hand facing terminal illness and his last three months of life. After years of struggle—a son who becomes disabled, a daughter who dies prematurely—Alph tries to shield his family from further pain, pledging to keep silent about his illness and impending death. This critically acclaimed novel is a tale of secrecy and suffering but also of moral triumph.
