Query: in the fall

Although a first novel, which shows promise, Lent is too wordy and self-important which manifests itself in the prose. The book is depressing. The minute you turn to page two, you know that nothing good is going to happen to the characters. Lent copies too much from recent best-sellers, i.e., Cold Mountain, Beloved and Color Purple. If he would choose his own subject, perhaps his prose would flow better.
