Written in first person this book reads more like a self-help book with a story than a novel. Jack Oliver is a successful banker but is he really? In mid-life he finds himself at a crossroads. He must look at his life and decide if he should continue on with his successful banking career which has left his life devoid of anything else or change. An interesting read, sometimes slow, sometimes repetitive, but eventually the story comes full circle. This book reminded me of some of the business books of the '90s.
