Some People Talk with God

A Novel

De: John Enright

Narrado por: J. Paul Guimont

An old house, a new lover, a fresh life for Dominick - or will the faith-driven doom it all?

The past just won't go away. Dominick likes to idle there in history's comfortable remove, but when his mother dies and he meets the half sister he never knew he had, the past becomes more personal - and the present more dangerous.

In this sequel to New Jerusalem News, Dominick's perpetual peregrinations are interrupted by a visit to his newfound sibling's historic Hudson Valley estate, which is also home to a Wiccan coven. In one way or another, his departure is continually delayed by circumstance, brushes with the local sheriff, and the history of the place itself - a stop on the Underground Railroad.

Once again Dominick's quest for noninvolvement and a purely observer's status is thwarted by reality. In Some People Talk with God, follow the new misadventures of this charming wanderer as he encounters an ineffable world of lovers, schemers, and fanatics.

Bizarro Jack Reacher?

No reviews yet extant so this is just to prime the pump. Like the previous book involving Domineck, after a few hours of listening and no activity, I’m gonna quit.
Dominick is fat and middle aged. He speaks little and loafs about. He is wealthy, drinks scotch, smokes cigars, drives a car, reads non-fiction, eats food prepared by others, generally avoids conversation and seems satisfied with an unambitious life. Yet he isn’t self-satisfied. We’re not often told that he is content in what he is doing in the moment but fairly often he feels need to move on. Narration includes some of his activities and bits and pieces about the characters he interacts with.
Here, his mother has died and he meets his half sister and the Will discloses that they split about $2 M. His sister has a GF who is also a lawyer. Between all characters, indifference abounds.
It would be hard to write a book where less happens and less is expected. I’m not skipping to the end to satisfy curiosity as I have none

Slow moving-no resolution

Nothing happens to the characters. Absolutely nothing is resolved at the end. No one takes advantage of possible human growth.
