It's a simple, meandering novel. The protagonist is a middle aged man from Indiana, telling stories about different people in his life from different times.

I'm not sure what it is about this book, but I am thoroughly enjoying it. I've got gentle thunderstorms and rain today, and am curled up with a drink and this book. It's kind of like having the protagonist sitting in the chair across from mine, telling me random stories about his life, and leaving me to piece them all together.
