Review # 1 was written on 2017-10-29 00:00:00 Gary Hernandez I am often drawn to Howard Norman's stories because of the places his characters are contained, physically as well as mentally. This was no exception - we wandered between London and Islay and Nova Scotia, carrying the weight of devotion between a new couple and her father and the places they have been, the things they have done...and the things they should have done. Do we make things more complicated than necessary for each other? Or is it sometimes necessary to make things more complicated in order to find a place together again?

Review # 2 was written on 2010-07-08 00:00:00 Daniel Kenny Disappointing; the excerpt and idea sounded great but the demolishing NYT review is mostly on cue; the main character is a moron - to be kind - and he is even a not-really-believable one and the letter he gets towards the end from his wife shows very clearly why; sadly the book ends there and that is its best part
