The second book in Smiley's trilogy about the Iowa Langdon family takes us from the Cold War 1950s to the Reagan years of the 1980s. The grandchildren of Rosanna and Walter reach adulthood in all kinds of ways. I didn’t enjoy this quite as much as the first although I’m not sure why that was, at least until Charlie’s story, a boy not connected to anyone’s family tree makes an appearance! Then, I was hooked. Clever of the author.
