Mohawk by Richard Russo

4.0

Mohawk is only my second Richard Russo novel. It felt familiar though, as it's very similar to Everybody's Fool with its myriad of characters, small-town setting and domesticity.

It gave me that feeling you get when coming across an old friend you lost contact with, but when you meet again the spark reignites as you had never been apart.

The characters are as varied as they come - a diner owner, retired men and their wives, a beautiful woman who married the wrong guy and who is in love with her cousin's husband; a policemen, and a multitude of many other characters. They're all very realistically depicted. Richard Russo has a knack for explaining people's actions and motivations in a non-judgemental way.

I'll be reading more Russo.
