Dingley Falls is a literary novel first published in 1980. The author is Michael Malone. The book is long. I spent a little over 9 hours reading it. The author starts out introducing the characters. And there are a lot of characters. That part was a little hard to get through. After 20+ characters are introduced the book moves chronologically. The author describes a morning in Dingley Falls by talking about the weather. After that he tells us what all the characters are doing. We learn about what time they woke up, what they had for breakfast, and where they were headed for the day. The characters range from teenagers to senior citizens. One lady works at the post office and her husband is the sheriff. One guy is a banker. His wife is the town gossip. His two teenage daughters are getting into trouble. One guy, the owner of an antique store, has got to be a psychopath. The story telling is great. Many of the scenes are humorous.
