FIC LEAVITTThe year is 1969 in the small California town of Wellspring. Denny Denham, secretary and lover to Ernest Wright, a manipulative psychoanalyst, becomes friends with his neurotic wife Nancy and their children: the rebellious Daphne, draft dodger David and teenage aspiring writer, Ben. Nancy's best friend, Anne, and her new husband Jonah Boyd spend Thanksgiving weekend with the family. Jonah is working a novel but continually misplaces his copy, written in a set of Italian notebooks. During the course of the visit he loses the notebooks permanently, setting off a chain of events that changes the course of many lives.
This is an entertaining read that surprises at the end with an unexpected plot twist.
