This multi-layered debut novel is well written. The comparisons with John Irving are fleeting but evident in the character of Henry. Baseball is the major character around whom the others revolve and develop. Friendship is also a strong force in this novel, and the ending is a bittersweet conclusion to the love of each other that these characters share. I look forward to reading future books by this talented writer.
