Industry Reviews
"With stroke-by-stroke miniature portraits and incantatory prose...Kidder beautifully limns the characters and values that shape one New England town."
Winecoff

"What binds HOMETOWN, in any case, is a single character, a 33-year-old police sergeant and Hamp native named Tommy O'Connor....[A]ll told he takes up about 40 percent of the book. It's a marvelous portrait."
Burnett
