Title: An Interesting Read
Review: October light is an interesting and thought provoking novel. In the book Sally, an 80 year-old widow comes to live with her seventy-one year-old brother when her money runs out. Her brother James, a crusty 71 year old Vermont farmer is resentful that he has to support her and put up with her liberal ideas. After shooting out her TV he chases her upstairs where she locks herself in her bedroom.For the rest of the book Sally and James engage in a battle of wills. And in the process the human dimensions of the two characters and their lives are beautifully developed.As a fellow author I can appreciate Gardner's work.Writer Interruptus and Other Stories
