review 1: I absolutely loved this book. The story takes place in the small town of Waverley and centres on the family of Atlas, Gracie and Louis Malone. When Atlas dies suddenly, events unfold that bring the wee town together to try to heal almost two decades of seclusion and anguish. Hilarious at times and really deeply sad in others, I found the characters utterly charming and believable. Highly recommended.
review 2: I love picking up inexpensive books on amazon - that's how I came upon this wonderful book! Beautifully written. Funny. Sad. Even a bit contrived at times. but the characters! How can you NOT root for Louis & Iris? How can you NOT want for them everything that's been denied them? And the rest - the parents, the neighbors, even the ER doc. All so skill
... morefully drawn. I felt enveloped by it's warmth, touched to my very soul by the longing. And then just as quickly, laughing out loud at the way the author turns a phrase. Absolutely recommended. less

Recommended by Nancy Pearl but it was a little too contrived for me.

A snoozer of a novel that failed to keep my interest throughout.
