This was the third book I checked out from St. George Library downtown when I was on a little Berg binge. I liked this one a lot! It's a prequel to the Arthur Trulove character in another book of her's I read awhile ago. This describes Arthur's growing up years, his great love for Nola, and his rich relationship with his brother, Frank.
I love the simpler time this story is set in. People walk the neighborhoods, they know each other, and families sit down together for meals. It's very sweetly described. I loved the character of Frank, and his kindness and protection of his younger brother Arthur. And Arthur is a classic NERD, not one of the cool kids, and his goodness comes through constantly without embarrassment or apology. What sweet brothers!
This was a nice story to escape to during our great transition from one home in St. George to another. From Red Canyon to the golf course! And there is a lot to think about, a lot to do, and a lot to manage in this transition, which we are right now in the middle of. But we have made it fun (mostly) and this book was a nice reward when night time came. Now I need another one! I've taken a little break so I can also get our taxes done...and I did, so, YAY ME!
