Old Jack is getting up in years. This book recounts his relational histories with many of the characters in Berry's fictional town of Port William. I really enjoyed learning about each of the characters, either from Jack's memories or from their memories of Jack. Berry makes you fall in love with his characters and their way of life. This is the third book in the Port William series and might be my favorite yet.
