4.5 stars really. Loved this. A great story, very well written and expertly developed. His characters are wonderful creations.
I lived through most of Coe’s historical milestones and could identify with all but the earliest. I had a great deal of fun reminiscing in tandem with the storyline.
I have read several of his earlier novels and enjoyed them thoroughly.
