5.0 out of 5 stars One of his finest!, August 30, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Fall from Grace (Paperback)

This was the first Greeley novel I read and it is still one of my top three favorites. Sometimes it is still on the shelf at major bookstores, and it's definitely worth the pleasure of trip to a used book shop. The characters are unforgettable!

5.0 out of 5 stars A review of the actual book in question, August 30, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Fall from Grace (Hardcover)

The other reviews on this page seem to be of a different book by a different author. Fall From Grace by Andrew Greeley is a wonderful parable of grace, set in Chicago, of course. This was the first of his novels that I read and the characters and the book are still dear to my heart. By the way, this book is available in a normal paperback copy - I don't know why it is listed here as out of print. Check your local bookstore.
