Richard Russo sets his latest novel in Thomaston, New York, where the defunct tannery, once the lifeblood of the blue-collar town, has poisoned the river and its citizenry. Lou C. "Lucy" Lynch and his wife, Sarah, who inherited the family's convenience store and slowly moved up the social ladder, are preparing for a trip to Italy. Before leaving the region for the first time in his life, Lucy starts a memoir that divulges his needy boyhood and his relationship with his cynical mother and blindly optimistic father. He also writes of his and Sarah's dual obsession with Bobby Marconi, whose teenage anger led him away from Thomaston forever.
