That Old Cape Magic
The New York Times – Roxana Robinson: Russo has written six previous novels?and we've come to expect certain things: a complicated skein of plotlines, deep connection to place, and affection for the large cast of characters who blunder and struggle through his pages. That Old Cape Magic does not disappoint?Family, family, family is the subject of That Old Cape Magic. The family is where the best?and the worst?things happen to us. Whether we embrace it or try to escape it, the family is at the center of our lives. Along with that voracious little worm of dissatisfaction, munching away. Which will triumph? Richard Russo roots for the family, but he knows the worm is there.
