Customer Reviews

I loved this book!

I have loved all of Richard Russo's books. So good to get back into another story that you will not want to put down. I grew up in upstate NY from 1957-1980s and whether you came from wealth or not you will recognize these characters as his fans have recognized all his other characters. I believe that his ability to write about the inner workings of these people is what makes them so real to me. Whether a character is like someone you literally knew closely or just a person who you were aware of from a distance the realism will bring you to that time and place. Can't wait for the next great book.
