Some novels hook me on the first page but Bonnie Kirshenbaum’s new book, The Scenic Route, grabbed me with the first lines, “Here is the story of Henry and me. I wish it had a different end. It had a good beginning.” This story contains a road trip, a romance, a remembrance of family life and friendship and the sad as well as comic ruminations of Sylvia’s could of, should of life. So find your favorite reading armchair and travel through the pages. You will not be disappointed.
