"A very moving novel, beautifully written. One of those with characters and scenes that stay with you for the long run. A novel about family and love and accepting the imperfections of those we love and need. A story about friendship and the things th"

"I am probably the most surprised that I actually liked this book.
I picked it up after a friend mentioned that he had read it multiple times. Within 2 pages I was sure this is not for me. And it probably isn't. Although the book is about women, it's n" Read more of this review » |

"Another great read by John Fante. His writing style is electric and makes one wish they could write even half as good as Fante. This book centers around Henry Molise and the Molise family, their strained relations, damaged relations, gallon jugs of c"

“Sure, I had been through the DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program when I was a kid. I had seen Nancy Reagan’s pasty white ass on TV telling me to, “just say no”.
