This is the second of Marquand's novels I've read; while it does not rise to anything approaching the level of The Late George Apley, I still enjoyed it well enough. There is a bit too much repetition and simultaneously too much and not enough world-building, somehow, and most of the characters are fairly annoying. But there is some good humor and some amusing New England set pieces in here, too. ( ) no reviews | add a review
