The Odds: A Love Story

O'Nan, Stewart. The Odds: A Love Story. 2012. (Fiction Onan.S)

Now in their fifties, Art and Marion are wishful dreamers who bought a house they couldn’t afford and had affairs they’d rather forget.  Jobless, facing foreclosure and contemplating divorce, they take what’s left and head to a Niagara Falls casino on the weekend of Valentine’s Day, for one last chance.  Ashamed, inept, uneasy, panic stricken and sometimes hilarious—these flawed and familiar characters are deeply drawn with great subtlety and sympathy by one of our finest writers.   (Susan R., Reader's Services)
