The Book of Daniel by E.L. Doctorow

3.0

Fictionalized story based conceptually on the Julius & Ethel Rosenberg espionage case and what the lives of their children would have been like. I am a big Doctorow fan, having read six other novels of his. His writing here is accomplished, certainly, and evocative of time and place but consistently unpleasant. This is my least favorite. It is presented as autobiography of one of those children, but it's voice is inconsistent. The story is meandering and ends inconclusively. It does make me want to go back and re-read my favorites though.
