Chances Are

The Book List

Chances Are by Richard Russo, 2019.
Read in December 2019.

Richard Russo is another one of my favorite authors and I always try to read his latest book. This was a fascinating novel about friendship and a suspenseful mystery about a long ago disappearance and a little different from his usual stories. Russo never disappoints. 

There was also a scene in the book that brought be back to my youth. The main characters are sitting around a table during the 1969 draft lottery waiting for their birthday to be called and the future decided. I remember that night 50 years ago very well. My draft number was 10 and I enlisted in the Navy right away.
