America Was Hard to Find by Kathleen Alcott

3.0

---

I feel like I should have liked this more than I did. It’s a sweeping novel, following three individuals who live through and are effected by the space race, AIDS, the Vietnam War, and the upheaval caused from the early 60s to the late 80s. But the characters, while interesting, were just so broken that I kind of checked out. It’s fine to have troubles and challenges, but almost nothing cheerful or uplifting at any moment for any of them. And one end up walking on the moon!
