Synopsis
A novel to love and recommend....'A faultlessly engineered escape machine that can transport willing passengers to an enchanting world... All you have to do is believe in an eleven-year-old grafter and her presumptive father, who rattle around the Southland in the year 1935, bilking widows, Alabama peanut farmers and even used-car dealers out of hard Depression currency. It isn't hard to believe in Addie Pray, because Joe David Brown cons the reader almost immediately with his slick story-telling and easy charm. When Addie and Long Boy, her dad, tire of playing variations on the bait-and-switch game and other routines, they launch a gigantic caper that may net millions and is full of ironic whammies. {Paper Moon] is 24-carat fun.' New York Times
