Three Novels from Florida Writers: A Reading

In Nina Romano’s heartwarming conclusion to her continent-spanning Wayfarer Trilogy, In America, set in late-1920s Brooklyn, Marcella must learn to balance new friendships, promising suitors, and life as a modern working girl with the expectations of her tradition-bound family, all against the backdrop of a looming economic depression and a changing world. In James Rosen’s High Hand, Frank Adams must discover why he and his former poker buddies are being targeted for assassination. Nick Spill’s The Jaded Kiwi tells the stories that emerge from a severe marijuana drought in Auckland, New Zealand, in the summer of 1976, which lead to that country’s War on Drugs.
