I loved this book. Set in the very cold upper Mid-west and in a very small town that boasts an old style theater, and a cast of characters, the story follows Virgil from his slo-mo, un-inspired life to a near-death experience that awakens his desire to be present in that life. Virgil reconnects with an old flame and the mystery of her husband's disappearance many years before. An odd stranger (anyone new to town is a stranger) who builds and flys kites arrives and he, too, becomes invested in the mystery of the missing man. Friendships and more develop and deepen within the old, mostly outdated movie theater. However, nothing is just simple and even small towns have their secrets and problems. I hIghly recommend this one.
