 “Since the death of their mother four years ago, Tyler and his sister, Charly, might as well be orphans for all they see of their father, the Colonel … Davis’ characters are distinctive in a Byars-like fashion, and their problems go straight to the heart. Tyler’s slow discovery of his worth is credibly accomplished, while the plot is eventful enough to sustain a concrete sense of story. A clean resonant novel.” |
