Thanks for recommending this

I have based my summer reading on the Salon list that came out two months ago, and the most enjoyable things I've read have been this book and Mr. Bayard's previous novel, Mr. Timothy. Couldn't put either of them down. I'm glad to have been introduced to this novelist's work!
