I started this during a vacation at Niagara Falls, but I couldn't get into it: too dark and trapped in the past.

However, it may be your cup of tea, as Oates is a terrific writer. I hope you come back to this website after reading the book, and let me know what you think. we can get a dialogue going!

Actually, this book was still around the house. The one I had taken to the City Hall diner in Fitchburg was a different book. So, I dropped this off at the wonderful Traveler Restaurant, in Union CT, while having some pasta and getting three more new books! Have fun looking for it.
