F.Y.I. The front corners are a little worn. This is a great book. Russo has a wonderful way of describing people. The lives of the people in this small town remind me of the interweave in "Great Expectations". I had a little trouble getting past the first couple chapters...character building and a bit boring, but it pays off later. By the way, the HBO movie didn't do the story justice.
