Poor Bertie

I like the quiet slow rhythm/pace of AMS. It is a good change. It felt like he put the reader in the neighborhood and the reading was like the chance encounters with those who live in the same building/neighbors.

Lost and Found - review

I enjoyed the book. I enjoy examining family relationships and there were plenty of unexpected and complicated family here. I thought the author did a great job on honestly telling the process of a complicated issue.
