From the smoothly mysterious Forward, readers will wonder which of the designated triplets is the one writing "we did," as well is he/she the actual LATECOMER. Some may wish Mandy would return as the LATECOMER since she is the only appealing character for a long time reading.

Even readers with little interest in outlier paintings will likely do a Search to see if
Trombly actually exists. Intriguing reward there.

The momentum of the three averse to each other even as babies soon becomes a tiresome and everlasting trope, as was the mother's consuming obsession with family
unity. If she had just moved to get a life of her own, it may have inspired the others. It was also hard to believe that babies and toddlers would not draw physically and emotionally closer when needing warmth or comfort.

Stella of course merits attention, yet she never reveals why she, as a feminist documentary artist, would move to wreck a man's family.

Fortunately for the plot, her son brings redemption, if not a real explanation.
Strange too is how the brilliant Harrison came to totally reject his Walden roots.

The story picks up with Lewyn's Passover Seder!

Slowed again by Sally's improbable revenge...

The LATECOMER is definitely a page turner that, despite its length,
may keep readers going on and wanting more, even wishing that crazy old dad
had survived to join the folks on the Vineyard beach.
