I couldn’t help but compare this with her previous novel, the highly original WWII is a territory that has been written about so much that it’s often difficult to find an unusual take on it.
The point you bring up, along with the fact that she wanted to go dive and find her father's decomposed body for proof of his whereabouts (and the boaManhattan Beach is the venue of the very first scene of the book, where the 3 protagonists meet for the first time, and that meeting impacts the rest Manhattan Beach is the venue of the very first scene of the book, where the 3 protagonists meet for the first time, and that meeting impacts the rest of their lives. Egan's writing has all the pleasure of a comfy blanket on a crisp autumn morning - so what luck that this fall brings a joy like this no"What can't she do?"
travelmaniac07 wrote a review Jan 2020. It's a work of historical fiction beginning around the Great Depression and continuing through the war years. I really liked Goon Squad, but Manhattan Beach? October 3rd 2017 That's the significance of the title.
I couldn’t help but compare this with her previous novel, the highly original Set in the 1930s and 1940s, this is the story of Anna Kerrigan, a New Yorker of Irish extraction whose father disappears after working for Dexter Styles, a gangster who owns several nightclubs.
Toll would have to be the most unreliable courier company around. Only $40 / year and it pays for itself. I feel like I should love them but they don't quite hit right. There is certainly enough fun to fill an afternoon even in the off-season. I think there were some interesting elements - women working in shipyards, the mystery of the father's disappearance, the sister with health issues - but just when one of these storylines would start to get interesting, the author would divert to more mundane details about something less so.
Apologies! Full facilities.
It felt like a stretch that Dexter was killed because his brother in law told his father in law who told Mr. Q who then let him be killed, which is the explanation we're left with. I feel like I should love them but they don't quite hit right.
by Scribner Um, definitely not what I was expecting from Egan at all... is this really the same author who wrote I can't say I loved A Visit From the Goon Squad as much as the Pulitzer Prize committee or the National Book Critics Circle, or the many five star reviewers on Goodreads, but I liked it well enough to want to give this one a try and I'm so glad I did. Egan was born in Chicago and raised in San Francisco. . Except for the opening chapter or two, the characters were dull, dull, dull. It's a very different kind of book than Goon Squad. I read the first 35% pretty closely, skimmed up to 50%, and just had to decide this isn't the book for me.
But here we are again, much the same as before.For the most part I enjoyed this long meandering read. Sleepy town's beach resort makes a great escape from Melbourne It's a fine place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city for the weekend, with or without kids in tow. It’s the story of her family too – sister Lydia, mother Agnes and father Eddie – but these other family members flit in and out of the narrative whilst Anna is always present, even when the focus isn't directly upon her.
Meh. It appears to be well researched and in my view definitely well written. Although it was a competent and well-formed novel, it didn't dazzle me. (The period dialog felt hokey to me at times.) Egan focuses on interesting historical side notes such as Anna’s work as a diver at Brooklyn Navy Yard during WWII, but in general her insertion of period detail is not very natural. There's nothing glaringly wrong with it, but I was never emotionally invested. There are several picnic pavilions and playgrounds that you can reach by driving or walking.
