Wow! What an amazing and utterly unique novel. I absolutely adored it. The description caught my eye originally because it made it seem as though the whole book took place in Rogers Park. While initially I was surprised and rather disappointed that this was not the case, I got swept up in the rich and beautifully written story. With its myriad of characters - from old to young, many different races, sexualities and religions, the true main character is Chicago itself. And the author completely captured it - it was more than just mentioning places, he managed to capture a sense of home within this book. I loved it. Following the timeline of just one year, was great but I did not want it to end. I can't wait to read anything else he has written - though I think this will be a tough act to out-do.
