A review by mazza57
Local Souls by Allan Gurganus

4.0

First book i have read written by Gurganus. he is fabulous at scene setting with a real fly on the wall type of writing. The style is clipped, sentences are short and sharp. He describes and brings characters alive without using masses of descriptive phrasing. The stories seem to be about loss and recovery. There are three tales all related by the setting in which they take place. The first two grabbed my attention and imagination from beginning to end. The third was less enthralling but came through in the end. I can thoroughly recommend giving this book a go
