When Bea reluctantly agrees to get involved in getting her nephew to return home, she ends up traveling far more afield than just from her solitary life in 1950s New York. Read my review of this Orange Prize winning novel here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2015/07/03/overtures-with-a-nightingale/

"Another instance of pleasurable re-reading. William Gaddis’ first novel, mid-1950s, The Recognitions, and I remember walking into a bookstore in Manhattan and being intrigued by the striking cover design, from a 15th century Italian altarpiece. The first paragraph knocked me out and I’ve been reading and re-reading Gaddis ever since."

"Of course I was Becky Thatcher from age five to 10 and switched to Huckleberry at 13 because he had all the fun. And before I ever set foot in Heidelberg in the 1950s, Twain’s Tramp held my hand when our American twangs were ridiculed by speakers of that awful German language."
