About this author

I grew up in Tallahassee, Florida, attended the University of Florida for undergrad and law school, lived in Jacksonville, Florida for a few years, then moved back to Tallahassee. In 2003, in a fit of insanity, I ran for the Tallahassee City Commission and was elected. I continue to practice law, listen to constituent complaints, and write a little bit every day.

Exquisite writing, powerful stuff. A couple of strands were hard to follow, but even that added to the effect. Excellent.

Entertaining, but I didn't love it as much as others I've read recently (and perhaps that's not a fair comparison). The author clearly put a lot of work into capturing turn of the century New York, and the fact that much is derived from Clara's actua...more

"Inventive and well-done. Sometimes I had trouble distinguishing between some of the characters, but on the whole quite enjoyable. "

Very, very well done. The descriptions are so acute you would think the author was there as a war photographer. Highly recommended.

Long, long, long, but worth it for the characters: the evil Murdstones, Pegotty, Mr. Micawber and, most particularly, Uriah Heep. I liked the humor as well, including David's statement that after living abroad, he saw more mud in London in a day than...more

I didn't love this as much as some did--I found the stories interesting but was left at the end with a kind of "okay, now what?" feeling.

“Time stretches and calms, but still we reach, for we belonged then. We want to know. Sometimes that knowledge is painful, or inconvenient, or even damning. But it is essential. It exposes us for what we have been, and can be.”
