Every now and then, a book comes along that blows you away. Richard Power's new book, "Playground" is one of those books!
Nominally, the book is about the power and beauty of the oceans, but it is so much deeper than that. Multiple storylines intersect, and the supporting cast of characters are as complex and nuanced as you would expect from a Powers book.
I have only read one of his other books, "Bewilderment," but "Playground makes me want to read all his other books, especially the widely celebrated book, "The Overstory."
Read "Playground!" You will not regret it!
