That Old Cape Magic by Richard Russo

4.0

This was not my favorite Russo novel but its still a good one. While the story of a middle-age professor in the midst of a mid-life crisis is not necessarily the most compelling read, Russo's characters are well-developed and realistic that this makes for a good read. I read that this was originally intended as a short story which would explain the uncharateristic short length (257 pages). There could have been more, especially at the end.
