Review
This is a gentle, thoughtful tale, told simply and well, but not one to choose if you're looking for pulse-pounding action! It's similar in some ways to another book recommended recently, Philosophy Made Simple.
Beyond the Book
If you live in or around Fairhope, Alabama ('a dozen miles as the laughing gull would fly across the bay from the port city of Mobile') you might be lucky enough to know Sonny Brewer, the owner of the Over The Transom Bookstore in Fairhope.  

The Poet of Tolstoy Park is his first novel,  A Sound Like Thunder will be published in August and he's currently working on the third volume of his Fairhope Trilogy: The Tumble Inn and Sit Down Café.
