Seeing Calvin Coolidge in a Dream

"...an absolute delight, a small but rich book in which every note is struck exactly right, a book one reads mesmerized, so hypnotic is the wry, self-effacing yet insistent voice in which it is narrated. It is the best first novel to come my way since William Boyd's 'A Good Man in Africa'; indeed it is so good that it shows no sign of being a first novel....at once a lovely entertainment and a small work of art....In more than three decades of professional book reviewing I have found perhaps a half dozen books that came out of the unknown and gave me surprise and pleasure beyond measure. 'Seeing Calvin Coolidge in a Dream' most emphatically is one of these.Derbyshire, John is the author of 'Seeing Calvin Coolidge in a Dream' with ISBN 9780312156497 and ISBN 0312156499.
