Enon

(8/13)

This sequel to the author’s Pulitzer Prize winning novel, “Tinkers” is set in the same New England village.  The story traces the effects of a beloved daughter’s sudden death on her doting father.  In the immediate aftermath, Charlie Crosby remembers fondly the many experiences he shared with Kate and mediations on the past in his history-rich village.  But gradually his thoughts turn darker into drug-induced hallucinatory nightmares as Charlie descends into despair.  This is a novel of the mind rather than action but the writing is so intense and rich in description that it grips one’s interest throughout.
