Book 4: Crossing California
Title: Crossing California
Author: Adam Langer
Rating: 8.5/10
Genre: Fiction
Synopsis: California Avenue in Chicago separates the upper-middle-class Jewish families on the west from the mostly middle-class Jewish families on the east. The book traces the stories of three families, widowed Charlie Wasserstrom and his two teenage daughters; Michael and Ellen Rovner and their two children; and Deirdre Wills, a single mother.
I liked: A well-told, well-crafted story told with wit and ingenuity.
I didn't like: Not much. It could have been tighter in places, but otherwise it was good.
Great line: Page 7. Charlie Wasserstrom enjoyed getting things for free - or for half-off - even if he had never really wanted those things in the first place.
