Let Me Be Frank with You: A Frank Bascombe Book by Richard Ford

5.0

Absolutely wonderful. I missed Frank Bascombe and after reading The Sportswriter, Independence Day, and The Lay of the Land- I never thought I would read him again.
Then out of the decimation caused by Hurricane Sandy, he returns, Richard Ford unable to let the New Jersey real estate agent remain silent as his beloved home(s)... lives fall around him.
I love Frank Bascombe- and here he deals with race, destruction, mortality, and love.
This book was sitting on my father's nightstand (he who introduced me to Frank) when he fell down stairs, hurt that big brain, and passed away. I hope he finished this book before he left us. One more dance with Frank was a blessing.
Maybe not everyone's cup of tea. But one that warmed my soul.
Thanks Richard Ford.
