I read this book because I grew up in Oak Ridge TN and someone had mentioned to me that part of this book took place in OR. Yes, but a very small part. Knoxvillians will fare better, as much of the first 1/2 of the book is set in pre-WWII Knoxville.

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it wasn't this. The writing is almost poetic (if you read "Ahab's Wife", it is that style of writing, although not that plot)It follows a young man who has returned from WWI through his marriage and life in East Tennessee in the years before WWII.

I don't know that I will read other works by this author, but I'm very glad I read this one.
