Illuminating and telling of the society we live in, both today and yesteryear. Each of the characters' stories were told with depth and caring but they were able to develop on their own as we do. There were times I wasn't pleased with Homan and did not like the path he was taking. But it made him real to me. Our flaws show everyday and there are not always people there to teach us how to fix them except maybe the Big Guy. Believe, trust and forgive - your instinct, those who might seem unimportant to you, your past, all things.
I'm glad to see this is as good as I thought it would be. I've got it on audio and can't wait to start it!
