I loved Leif Enger's previous two books, but initially was disappointed in this one: not much seemed to be happening, other than people flying kites, fishing, and chit chatting. I'm glad I stuck with it though, becasue the characters really started to grow on me. There are lots of individual stores in this book rather than one overarching plot. As always, Enger's writing is subtly warm and compassionate.
