Summary
Milo Roby tries to hold his family together while working at the Empire Grill in the once-successful logging town of Empire Falls, Maine, with his partner, Mrs. Whiting, who is the heir to a faded logging and textile legacy.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: With Empire Falls Richard Russo cements his reputation as one of Americaâs most compelling and compassionate storytellers.
Miles Roby has been slinging burgers at the Empire Grill for 20 years, a job that cost him his college education and much of his self-respect. What keeps him there? It could be his bright, sensitive daughter Tick, who needs all his help surviving the local high school. Or maybe itâs Janine, Milesâ soon-to-be ex-wife, whoâs taken up with a noxiously vain health-club proprietor. Or perhaps itâs the imperious Francine Whiting, who owns everything in townâand seems to believe that âeverythingâ includes Miles himself. In Empire Falls Richard Russo delves deep into the blue-collar heart of America in a work that overflows with hilarity, heartache, and grace.
