1.0 out of 5 stars O'Nan is a writer who tries on different styles but has none, 19 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This is a bit more polished than his previous books, but there is something about each of O'Nan's novels that begs for attention, that feels as though he is trying to imitate literature. I found this one loftier still and while O'Nan's reach is admirable, perhaps, his grasp remains modest. An unsatisfactory reading experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 21 Jun 1998
By A Customer
A fine, subtle, well-written book by one of the best authors in America. He understands families, war, and beautiful prose. Ignore negative reviews; you won't be disappointed. Also recommend The Names of the Dead -- a very different, but equally or more compelling book.
