rosa: Upon your recommendation, I read Andre Dubus III's book Such Kindness. Wow. I think I'm in love with this author. I just might have to drive out to MA and stalk him (Just kidding!) I actually listened to this book because the library doesn't have it and I have Audible credits, but the author did the narration which I thought added to the experience in a way. I absolutely loved it. Thanks for the recommendation. I'm going to try Townies next.
