The Floatplane Notebooks

Binding: hardcover
The Copeland family of Listre, North Carolina, goes back a long
way. Meredith Copeland's father, Albert, keeps a sort of written
family record in some notebooks he bought to log the flights of
his home-built floatplane, a project Albert first undertook in
1956, when his children were just kids. Now that the kids are
grown -- Thatcher has a son of his own, Meredith and Mark are
back from Vietnam, and Noralee is off dating hippies -- the
notebooks are thick with the floatplane's failures to lift off
and bulging with color Polaroids of the wisteria blossoms near
the family plot, favorite family dogs, Thatcher and Bliss's
wedding, records of Noralee's height and weight, a diagram of the
graveyard, a newspaper story about wild-child Meredith's many
backfired schemes. This novel travels back in time more than one
hundred years, to the Copeland bride who first planted the
wisteria by the back porch that would take over the surrounding
woods, and then down to the present again to show how even though
times change, people are pretty much the same.
