Tinkers

by Paul Harding

I'm slightly obsessed with Tinkers because it's just so darn good. If you value writing over plot, you'll love Paul Harding's first work of fiction.  I can’t speak highly enough about this slim, powerful work of fiction that encompasses so much in an astonishingly short amount of time.  The book is set in New England, and tells the tale of a dying clock repairman, his father, and his grandfather.  Memory flows seamlessly as three generations in a family are examined with the precision of thread through a needle.  I picked up the book because there was a blurb on the front from Marilynne Robinson. Now I can't stop talking about it.
