Review title: A pleasing novel with a few small gaps, otherwise terrific
Product review: This is my first experience with Mallon, and he doesn't disappoint. Owosso, Michigan is filled with everyday people living lives full of everyday intrigue, brought to a head under the pressure of a historical rush that is anything but everyday. The cocksure hype and buildup to the obvious and perfect conclusion gives way to the hard reality that life doesn't always make sense, and that the simplest choice isn't always the easiest to make. Mallon could have done more to develop the interaction between Anne, the protagonist, and Peter Cox, the "psuedo"-antagonist. Otherwise a masterful effort that makes it easy for the reader to lose him or herself in the accelerating world of 1948.
