Fascinating picture of the haves and have-nots of the '30's. The reserve separates the wealthy from those outside the reserve - those who are suffering a loss of livelihood. Jordan Groves (hints of Hemingway in his name and his fate) is on the edge - the between person. The plot has some incongruous spots but doesn't stop one from reading on even though some of the motivations are not easily comprehended. Worth the read.
