Bowlaway by Elizabeth McCracken
3.0
Bowlaway was on a list of recommended titles for 2019. The story was interesting and employed a case of quirky characters, but almost too detailed, as I felt the story dragged on a bit too long.
I would have enjoyed it much more if the story had concentrated more on Bertha and her life, and had not become a sweeping saga that spanned three generations.
The sport of candlestick bowling and the historic turn of the century setting were interesting highlights of this story, but not enough to hold my interest through all of the story’s offshoots.
