A review by zhzhang
Nobody's Fool by Richard Russo

5.0

“For fairness and loyalty, however important to the head, were issues that could seldom be squared in the human heart, at the deepest depths of which lay the mystery of affection, of love, which you either felt or you didn't, pure as instinct, which seized you, not the other way around, making a mockery of words like "should" and "ought". The human heart, where compromise could not be struck, not ever. Where transgressions exacted a terrible price. Where tangled black limbs fell. Where the boom got lowered.”

I got into this book slowly as the beginning of the book has not connected to me immediately. Yet I love the book by the time I finish it. Great characters building and witty thoughts here and there sprinkled throughout the book. The narrator of the audiobook did a fantastic job.
