Solid piece of work about a Greenwich Village doctor whose insular life is turned upside down by the sudden appearance of his two-year-old grandson. The romance that develops is well-written, but predictable. Where this novel really shines is in Hamill's gritty depiction of New York City in the waning days of the Great Depression and in his depiction of the ways in which the lives of the blue-collar class intertwine.
