If you think about a book even when you've put it down and walked away, does that mean you like it? If so, I really liked this book. It doesn't have much of a plot and very little action, but this quiet book did haunt me. I didn't read Gilead which is about the same town and even some of the same characters. But both books have received good reviews, and I'd recommend this one. There really are just 3 characters: an elderly man and two of his grown children who have returned to live with him. And it takes place in a small town in Iowa and there's mention of the big city of Des Moines. - June
