That Old Cape Magic is a novel of deep introspection and every
family feeling 
imaginable, with a middle-aged man confronting his
parents and their failed marriage, his own troubled one, his daughter’s
new life and, finally, what it was he thought he wanted and what in
fact he has. The storytelling is flawless throughout, moments of great
comedy and even hilarity alternating with others of rueful
understanding and heart-stopping sadness, and its ending is at once
surprising, uplifting and unlike anything Richard Russo has ever written.
Last Night in Twisted River - “Daniel's life takes some wicked-bad twists
starting at the tender age of 12, when, mistaking his father's lover
for a bear, he accidentally kills the woman with a cast iron skillet.
His unfortunate mistake lands him and his father on the lam from the
woman's boyfriend, who has a taste for revenge. John Irving creates
marvelously quirky, memorable characters, and, like all his books, Last
Night in Twisted River is full of razor-sharp wit and beautiful
writing.”
