I really enjoyed this book. The story touched on so many things: Jews in the south, race relations, Vietnam and effects of war, family values. All of that and characters who you were rooting for. The most interesting part was the lengths at which the characters went to honor their families and ancestors while at the same time balancing personal and modern cultural desires. Conflict and love in the same moment really. Loved this book. This is a much better book than Glickman's first novel, Home in the Morning. The plot of this book is very intricate and even though Glickman does not set dialogue apart from the rest of the novel, it is still easier to follow the dialogue in this book than in the previous one.The characters were believable and easy to imagine, making them easier to relate to, as well. Overall, a very good book.
Do You like book One More River (2011)?
What an amazing tale. Bernard Levy's mysterious life is revealed slowly with great compassion
