A review by ardaigle
That Old Cape Magic by Richard Russo

5.0

I found it difficult to get into this novel but I believe that was only because I did in on audio over an extended period of time. The only other Russo work I have read was Empire Falls and this novel was similar in that there was no clear plot direction: just the story of people living, loving, and learning about themselves. I found these characters to be compelling and authentic and the story was believable and simple without being predictable. This was definitely my favorite of the three.
