The View from Mount Joy: A Novel
by Lorna Landvik
The View from Mount Joy by Norma Landvik (8/10/2010)
This book turned out to be not very satisfying. It did not capture me and I found the author's writing style rather simple. She failed to bring us closer to Joe's character, who is after all the narrator. It is however, a nice travel back it time and I enjoyed the author's poignant humor.
