Book 40 of my 2018 Reading Challenge
Empire Falls by Richard Russo
Summary (via Goodreads)
Miles Roby has been slinging burgers at the Empire Grill for 20 years, a job that cost him his college education and much of his self-respect. What keeps him there? It could be his bright, sensitive daughter Tick, who needs all his help surviving the local high school. Or maybe it’s Janine, Miles’ soon-to-be ex-wife, who’s taken up with a noxiously vain health-club proprietor. Or perhaps it’s the imperious Francine Whiting, who owns everything in town–and seems to believe that “everything” includes Miles himself. In Empire Falls Richard Russo delves deep into the blue-collar heart of America in a work that overflows with hilarity, heartache, and grace.
My Opinion
I enjoyed this while I was reading it but don't have a lot to say about it now. I got sucked in and wanted to read but was also very worried about what was going to happen.
