Remember a few weeks ago when I wrote about a novel and said I couldn't wait for it to end? Well, this is one that I would have been happy to read for much longer! It's a beautifully written book about two couples/families living in a small town in Ohio starting in the 40's. Their stories weave together through generations. I just loved it. By the end of the book, the characters were as real to me as many people I've known for years.
I attended a luncheon where Patrick Ryan spoke. This is his first novel, and I think the popularity of it might be a little overwhelming. He was interviewed by a local bookseller, and while he appeared to be a nice man, it was a little meh. He will probably become more comfortable on this book tours as he continues to write and promote his work. We all said we hoped the book was better than the interview. And yes, it certainly was.
Highly recommend - June
