(Read this in the Library of America series, the trilogy) I've been reading these books to see if Philip Roth holds up for me. And I have to admit that the first two books in this trilogy really didn't. They felt dated, as if all the old Communist stu ...more |

"Not so much a time-travel story as a snapshot of time travelers at one overlapping moment of their lives. Bradley writes very well (I should have kept a list of her best similies) and she put together a plot without any logic gaps or confusing parts,"

"Set in the 1930s in Wyoming, "The Trackers" felt a little like a more serious version of an Amor Towles novel, and I was almost instantly drawn into another time and place that actually felt oddly like a mirror on our own world, to some degree.
