The premise of the story was interesting and the plot well-developed. I found the descriptions of foundry and mechanical work circa 1940 to be educational, and the details were incorporated easily into the story.

What a painfully enjoyable book. Almost every charchter finally matures to intellectual adulthood in this third complement of O'Donohoe's Crossroads. The addition of a group of young but wise beyond years Griffon's adds pride to the story. Although BJ and Stefan's relainships takes a melancholic turn, the reader is left with hope for a bountiful future.
