My good friend Jon Pope has been publishing a remarkably moving and historically rich novel on Substack. The novel is rooted in the multigenerational life of his family, which he did extensive and illuminating research on. His research findings are integrated in the story he tells with an engaging literary imagination and a warm, compassionate connection to his forebears. Jon's chapter by chapter installments on Substack are a joy to read.
