White Widow

"[This] turns out to be a fine novel, after a bumpy, awkward start....In 'White Widow' Lehrer pares down his style and emotions to the bare bones....He's also going back home and starting over, by imagining what life might have dealt him had he been less smart, less ambitious, less lucky...The end is entirely satisfying. But the greatest pleasure 'White Widow' offers isn't the plot, or even the characters. It comes from Lehrer's detailed and absorbing depiction of Jack's working life as a bus driver."Lehrer, Jim is the author of 'White Widow', published 2000 under ISBN 9781891620416 and ISBN 189162041X.
