Format:Hardcover
Buechner's novel examines his familiar themes about sin, grace, miracle, and reconciliation. Readers aware of Buechner's THE ALPHABET OF GRACE will see again this prolific and inspiring writer's use of the common and the ordinary to point his fallen and disgraced and flawed characters toward a holy and wondrous grace.

Although not replete with action, I found the book difficult to put down. Buechner's superb character development leaves you with new acquaintences or enemies. Stirring and meaningful.

Buechner's latest has left me feeling like this novel was rather lackluster. The characters and their relations to one another became confusing over time, and far too much time was spent developing them, only to have them do basically nothing. Buechner seems to try too hard in this novel to make his characters "unusual," giving them odd quirks that, over time, make them unbelievable. Also, there is virtually no movement of the plot -- the entire 200-page book is spent developing characters, only to have them radically change, reconciling past differences, suddenly in the last few pages. For all the plot development in this novel, it perhaps would have served better as a short story or novella, rather than a full-blown novel. Buechner is a gifted writer, whose work I have enjoyed in the past; this novel, however, left me feeling like I was reading about selfish characters who did nothing, and whom I cared little about.
