Despite the unassuming name of the book - Virgil Wander - the descriptions of the place, the characters, and the events provide a rich mosaic for your imagination. To me it is a calming book to read when you are rattled. The book conveys a sense of community despite some character flaws. There are a couple characters that feel like outsiders - one might benefit from feeling accepted.; the other character has deeper, darker issues that take on a sinister tone.
