Having read several others of Berry's stories set in Port William, this is a great addition. Although he breaks all the rules about point-of-view, show-don't-tell, etc., Berry rises above the average current author in his ability to capture the feelings, memories, yearnings and regrets of 'real' people in a radically changing rural community. We really feel the love these people have for each other.
