A Fun Read

A trust fund doctoral student comes home to write a history of the town of Wallingford. His family was one of the three rich families that exploited the immigrant waves and left the town a slum. He becomes involved with the the locals, poor hispanic people who practice Santa Ria, a single mother/fortune teller that may be his destiny, a woman left by her husband fifteen years earlier who is still waiting for him to come home and a bitter and lonely physicist who doesn't understand the meaning of love. Add in a mystery: is the historian's family cursed? Can he break the curse through his relations with the town? This is a fun and quick read that has enough quirk and character to be worth the time.
