A review by blevins
That Old Cape Magic by Richard Russo

2.0

If you are thinking of getting hitched to someone [you know, married], don't read this novel by Richard Russo as it might make you re-consider walking down the aisle with your beloved. Russo's novel is set among a couple of already dead or disintegrating marriages as the narrator attends a couple of weddings. Clever, right? I don't know if Russo was venting about downtrodden relationships of his own here, but I got a bit tired of the endless bickering, the endless cutting remarks, the endless complaints about the spouses. Fine writing I suppose, but geez, I feel like I need to see a relationship counselor just because I spend time with these characters.
