Title: another O'Nan imitation of literature
Review: This is a writer deeply convinced that he will sooner or later get it right, so he writes books of wildly disparate tone and style, hoping to find the voice to which the market will respond. With this novel, he has finally guessed right, and for that he is to be congratulated. It's a great imitation of literature. But O'Nan is ultimately not the real thing. This is a novel that contains some excellent writing, sentence to sentence, but it has no heart. Deep down, this novel is shallow, and no amount of skilled writing can make up for that. It's easier to be moved by this book if you haven't read anything else by this writer. If you loved this book, then you probably shouldn't plan on reading anything else by him or you'll be disappointed.
