A Million Heavens by John Brandon

4.0

Author John Brandon has written another successful, sparse, paced novel about basic people leading complicated lives in an unforgiving, dying town. A million heavens moves along with each seemingly separate character struggling with a specific situation, but slowly brings them together under the same big starry sky. Separate circumstances, but the same wish for connection, healing, and meaning. A touch of the fantastic, or stretch of reality, provides a welcome new element for Brandon's mastery of telling small-town tales. Moving from the backwards south in previous works, to the unforgiving desert in Heavens, Brandon has produced another winner.
