Nobody's Fool by Richard Russo

5.0

This was a reread for me and I first read it when it was published. It was a favorite then and remains a favorite. I so enjoyed the 10 days I spent with Sully and friends (and enemies) in the fictional town of North Bath. Richard Russo writes beautifully about small town life and its issues. Sully is a partially abled 60 year old, stubborn and sometimes mean, who lives with his series of questionable choices. He has a strong personal moral code which at times confounds his friends with how difficult it seems to be to follow and how it complicates his life. He is the "nobody's fool" of the title and one of my favorite characters in literature.
