Once in a great while a shining star of a book comes along -- a book that speaks to your heart and makes you wish you could know these characters, live in their homes and share their lives. This must be the place by Kate Racculia is just such a book. You will meet shy, gentle, unassuming Arthur Rook, who has recently become a widower under bizarre circumstances. Losing the love of his life, Arthur discovers clues from his wife Amy’s past in a pink shoebox hidden in the back of her closet. They lead him to the Darby-Jones boarding house in Ruby Falls, New York in search of answers to the questions his discovery has sparked. There he finds Amy’s childhood best friend, Desdemona Jones, and her enigmatic daughter Oneida (yes, like the flatware). Ms. Racculia mixes together the elements of an epic journey, coming-of-age, mystery, and romance story and comes up with a very entertaining tale.
For anyone who’s looking for a good read that is definitely “outside the box”, This must be the place is a lovely place to look.
Recommended for adults.
