"If I could tell you only one thing about my life it would be this: when I was seven years old the mailman ran over my head." I take as a good sign any first sentence that makes me laugh outloud but also suggests a gentle, underlying pathos, which perhaps I transpose onto it in retrospect. In any event, Udall's first novel is a delightful blend of humor and heartache, without being saccharine or precious.
