In this companion novel to Home (bwl 52), the Reverend Ames begins a letter to his young son. It is not only a testament to his own life and to his forbears but in it he also tries to unravel and understand the events surrounding the troubled life of Jack, the son of his oldest friend. Read one of these books and the other becomes a must. In which order? Maybe this one first.
