John Irving,one of the world's greatest novelists,returns with his first novel in seven years - a ghost story,a love story,and a lifetime of sexual politics.
In Aspen,Colorado,in 1941,Rachel Brewster is a slalom skier at the National Downhill and Slalom Championships. Little Ray,as she is called,finishes nowhere near the podium,but she manages to get pregnant. Back home,in New England,Little Ray becomes a ski instructor.
Her son,Adam,grows up in a family that defies conventions and evades questions concerning the eventful past. Years later,looking for answers,Adam will go to Aspen. In the Hotel Jerome,where he was conceived,Adam will meet some ghosts; in The Last Chairlift,they aren't the first or the last ghosts he sees.
