Donnie Marcino returns to his hometown in New Jersey to deal with the demons of his past: memories of a dead four-year-old girl, a woman he has loved his entire life, a mother who abandoned him, and reminders of his former success as a playwright. He also suffers from the little-known medical condition of narcolepsy.
This novel has everything a reader could want: great pacing, a little suspense, characters you care about, emotions you can feel, engaging dialogue, and a narrative that is flecked with humor without undermining the seriousness of the subject matter. The author has a writing style that pulls you in, wraps you around his finger, and makes you hang on for dear life. The only downside is that it had to end.
Sublime Line: “An excellent, must-read novel about a man who returns home to confront his past, filled with memorable characters and written in a style that will draw you in, entertain you, and leave you wanting more.”
