Wide Blue Yonder

"Josie is the book's most successful character, thanks to her self-deprecating humor....WIDE BLUE YONDER is less assured in introducing a sinister note. A menace named Rolando Gottschalk...hovers somewhere between being overwrought and superfluous. Also, Ms. Thompson isn't seriously out to scare anyone. In the spirit of Anne Tyler, to whom she is noticeably indebted, she pretty much guarantees everyone here a pleasant fate.Thompson, Jean is the author of 'Wide Blue Yonder', published 2002 under ISBN 9780743205122 and ISBN 074320512X.
