No summer trip is complete without a trip to a bookstore. I had brought along Tell the Wolves I'm Home, but finished it the first day in Iowa, so I just HAD to find another book. I heard that there was a Half-Price Books nearby, and I had no problem talking G and H into going with me. I picked up Michael Cunningham's A Home at the End of the World based on having enjoyed The Hours.
I think Cunningham writes smartly. I didn't particularly like any of the characters - none of them seemed to develop very much, but they way the author portrays them, I felt some empathy for them. The ending was not very satisfactory for me, but I was compelled to keep reading. I will try other works by this guy.
I loved this section of classic Little Golden Books at Half Price Books. Not meant for children.
