Why read it?
1 author picked A Town with Half the Lights On as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A modern-day epistolary novel, told in emails, texts, newspaper articles and such, the book starts with a family's reluctant move back to the wife's dying hometown. Both the family and the town are struggling to survive and find their place. Not what you expect in the opening of a hilarious, delightful, uplifting journey into remembering that passion carries us far, is it? I laughed out loud at times. I couldn't read it fast enough. Perhaps an unusual choice of "best book" for a crime writer? There are crimes and justice. And hilarity and redemption. A really good read.
