This is the most ok-boomer novel I've read since Libra or basically anything by James Ellroy. The big bang is the assassination of John F. Kennedy, and the book, a long book, is loaded up with 1950s and 1960s people you've heard of. Bowman sees it as ...more

Goodreads reviewers are a tough audience, but 3.3 for this book? A grade of D? Really? Hand knows exactly what she's doing and to me, a lot of what she does here works. I like how this novel straddles two Hill Houses, Jackson's and Hand's; it's recog ...more
