Year of the Zinc Penny

"Each of these characters is fully drawn and totally believable, and their trials evoke laughter and pain as they search for love....In the background, set against this relentless domestic turmoil, are the terrible events of the world war....Rick DeMarinis has constructed a book whose shape is as perfect as a penny. But this story is more than its flawless construction, more than its richly textured plot, more than its memorable characters. The novel is actually a spiral that sets a magical boy named Trygve spinning around and around, at the same time moving him upward. We are confident that Trygve will eventually...get out there and win his own personal war..."DeMarinis, Rick is the author of 'Year of the Zinc Penny', published 2004 under ISBN 9781583226384 and ISBN 1583226389.
