Lived up to its accolades
Skeptic that I am, I am always a little suspicious when a first novel is given 'rave reviews'. But in this case, satisfying my curiosity about it proved very satisfying. The author has a deep love for her characters, warts and all. The children are especially delightful--grubby, simultaneously kind and mean, curious and engaging. I laughed out loud many times at their antics. The adults are similarly complex and ambiguous, especially the elusive Mrs. Creasey, around whose disappearance the plot is centered. Mr. Creasy (greasy?) and the rest of the alcoholic, bigoted underachievers on the 'avenue' have glimmers of humanity despite being enmeshed in the politics of their own small community. This book says a lot about communities--how they work and don't work, the importance of kindness, generosity and understanding between the members and what inclusion means in a community and what happens when there isn't any. Great book, I would recommend it unreservedly.
