There was a bit of every man I know, from the age of six to sixty in Ian. He reacted in ways that were so human, you couldn't help but empathize with him. The way the "conjurers" dressed him, the way they related to him, tongue-in-cheek, always, so if he didn't turn out to be real, they could just blame it on the wine. This book was a blast of New Age high spirits in my mundane, well-ordered life! I have a friend who would enjoy sharing just such an adventure with me, so that made the book all the more enjoyable. Ms. Flannery has been a favorite of mine for years. She has a way of taking characters out of the mold some writers put them in and breathing life into them. The men don't always react the same in her books to where you are reading the same book, just different title. There are always so many differences in the women that you know she is definitly a keen observer of people.
