This is the sad and ultimately unfulfilled story of Figman, Enoch and Marilee: Three lost souls wandering the desert towns of New Mexico.I work in the nuclear industry so the settings of Rocket City and the Trinity site were interesting and the descriptions of the locations were wonderful. I have occasion to travel to Arizona and New Mexico and I wouldn't mind searching out some of the locations described in the book.
The book started with an enticing scene, and some interesting characters, but while I felt sorry for all three of main characters I did not connect with any of them. Ms. Alpert has no doubt spent more time in the heat and the dust of these small, personal towns than I have, and perhaps this is a true "Americana" story; but I don't think so.
