Many thanks to NetGalley, Grove Press, and Leif Enger for the opportunity to read this wonderful book. I love a book filled with quirky characters - add to that a small town charm and beautiful writing and you have this book. 5 stars for a great read!
Virgil owns an old theater in a dying town in Minnesota on the shores of Lake Superior, which is where he found himself one night after his car crashed through the guard rails in a snowstorm. Luckily someone was there to pull him out and he survived, with some reduced memory and language skills. But he awakens to a slightly different version of himself. He opens his heart and mind to those who want to help him and who he, in turn, helps.
The best part of this book is the writing and the feeling we get turning back in time to those small towns that have moved past their glory days but for the people who still inhabit them.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book - bravo!
