Calico Joe is a lovely and lyrical short novel, a bit sentimental at times but very nicely done. I am a Cubs fan and particularly enjoyed that one of the main characters is a Cubs player in the early 1970s. I remember so many of the real players who are mixed in with the fictional ones.
This is my first John Grisham novel, so far as I remember, and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the audio version. The voice of the narrator rang true. Definitely recommended for baseball fans, and also those who like a good story about family issues and resolutions.
P.J. O'Rourke advises "Always read something that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it."
Let Galesburg Public Library staff and friends guide you in finding those books.
