I felt this book is Fante's saddest and yet the one which conveys the most hope. It's the story of a man and his sons, from the point of view of one of the latter. It's, as expected, very vivid, colorful, intense, hard to bear in some passages. Quite an emotional ride. Right in the league of "Wait for Spring, Bandini" and, indeed, about the Bandini family.
