Songs in Ordinary Time
Readnmachine avatar reviewed on + 1458 more book reviews


Well-written but depressing story of a hard-luck family in small-town Vermont at the end of the 1950s who fall afoul of a creepy confidence man. Full of deception, death, and lies, the book is full of gathering darkness and a sense of doom.
