Title: This book took me home again
Review: I grew up in a small town in Nebraska which could have been the model for the beautiful West Canaan, Wyoming, in "Angel Fire." I have lived in the Phoenix metro area for the past 20 years, but this book made me yearn for the "deceptive simplicity" of my hometown again.My daughter told me about this book and I am glad she did. Mr. Franscell has a beautiful way with words that touch a heart while they tell a story, too. The whole journey in the book was like a journey for me back to a place I haven't really seen for more than 20 years just like these characters in the book. The story is funny and sad, and familiar and shocking. It doesn't let you rest very long.I recommend this novel to anyone who wants to read a good book that does more than entertain. It made me think, and I am still thinking a week after I finished it. That seems like the mark of a great book to me.
