Book Reviews of The View from Mount Joy: A Novel
Book Review: A George Bailey for our time
Summary: 5 Stars
This gem of a novel chronicles the life of a character who at first blush may seem like an "average Joe" (that's even his name), but soon the reader realizes that his life illustrates that the simplest kindnesses can mean everything. Landvick deftly evokes high school in the 1970's and the life of a smaller town near a bigger city and creates a fable that gently reminds us that the words "family" and "blessed" have broader definitions than some would give them.
