this is the southern novel! makes me proud I am from Atlanta and was way to thoughtful at one time. I even read it in a crappy small paperback and enjoyed every page. read it and then let me know what northern novel would be it's equal.First read this book 20 years ago and have returned to it every five or so years.... First picked it up because of the N.C author and connection - but found it hard to put down and read it the first time in only a couple of days. Hard to put a finger on why I liked this one so much - but a great read. I've read a couple of his other books and they are good reads as well - but nothing approaching this one...
Certain books, like certain memories, lose their gloss as years go by.I picked this old copy of Paynes first novel from my library wanting to recapture the feeling of a particular moment in time and, as I kept turning pages, I realized its impossible to relive the past as I am no longer the same person who read this book more than a decade ago.Having forgotten most of the plot and remembering rare but engaging long introspective paragraphs on the imbalance between youth and insight, Payne
I gave up on this one half way through. I just didn't care for the characters enough to finish the book.
My husband recommended this book to me as a beautifully written book. It was.
It was good, but I thought it dragged on a bit. It could have been condensed. The characters were well portrayed, but I couldn't really relate to any of them. I guess that is why I didn't really LOVE the book because I thought the characters all made stupid mistakes or choices. Overall though, it was very well written and captivating.
