Now this is a BIG book!

A 2,600-page book in publishing limbo   From CNN

PARSONSFIELD, Maine (AP) -- It took Carolyn Chute five years to write the 2,600-page manuscript she refers to as "the big book."

Since then, the novel has languished for nearly five more years in publishing limbo, leaving the author wondering whether a work of such epic scale will ever find its way into print.

"The School on Heart's Content Road," is a big book in every sense of the word, with an abundance of characters and multiple story lines. The main plot depicts a self-sustaining community in rural Maine that finds itself targeted by FBI agents determined to root out what the media portrays to the outside world as a sinister and threatening cult.
