This review is from: The Silver Screen: A Novel (Hardcover)
Maureen Howard packs so much whallop in her books that it takes twice as long to read them than some books that are double the page length. Her encyclopedic knowledge of such a disparate range of topics makes every book of hers educational as well as fun to read. In this third element of her seasonal tapestry, she addresses, among other things, a crisis of faith, the silent film era, the witness protection program, the psychology of the photographer, all set in a story filled with introspection from many points of view. She also interweaves her previous plots (most notably, A Lover's Almanac), so that the stories gain a three dimensional aspect. Highly recommend.
