Title: Shadow Song
Review –I REALLY liked this book- but I may be skewed on this one. Writing is good- not great, but the story tugged at my heart strings. Georgia boy comes to the Catskills to be a waiter at one of the traditional resorts in mid 50s- meets rich Jewish girl- impossible future. Book lovingly portrays the culture of the classic Catskills as well as its decline. Filled with symbolism, and a very nice forty year love story at its heart. It made me weep at times but maybe that is because of my own mirrored experience. The back of the book had a rave review from Barbara Bush (Honest)- but I recommend it in spite of that.
