The Smell of Other People's Houses |
How to describe the homes of other people or places you remember? For the four teenage protagonists in this absorbing coming-of-age novel it is the smell. Set in Alaska, the author captures the small-town atmosphere of this Last Frontier in the 1970s. I was not expecting to enjoy what sounded like just another teenage novel with the usual tensions and problems. I loved it.
