Page Turner A Novel

"Leavitt's new novel, 'The Page Turner,' represents something of a rediscovery of the methods and ambitions of 'Family Dancing.' It is by no means a perfect novel--it is flawed by some hasty characterizations and a reluctance to probe too deeply into its people's pasts--but it's still a marked improvement over Leavitt's more disappointing recent work....Indeed, it intermittently shimmers with the magical talent that first announced itself a decade and a half ago....[H]e does a nuanced job here, reminiscent of 'Equal Affections,' of delineating the complicated bonds of love, resentment, mistrust and affection that can connect a mother and her son."Leavitt, David is the author of 'Page Turner A Novel' with ISBN 9780395957875 and ISBN 0395957877.
