"Saul and Patsy" is one of my favorite kind of books; a family drama. The author is from Minnesota and his name is Charles Baxter. Saul and Patsy live on the east coast. They fall in love, marry, and move to Michigan where they start a family. Both Saul and Patsy are quirky characters. They handle things WAY differently than I would. Often in the story, Saul and Patsy would do something and I would think, "That is NOT the way I would handle this situation." Sometimes it works out for them and one, very important time, it doesn't work out for them. One of Saul's high school students becomes attached to him in a creepy and unhealthy way. I would have called the police several times but Saul and Patsy do not handle their problems in this conventional way. I really enjoyed this easy-to-read novel.
