“One of Finale’s remarkable skills is what Youmans calls, ‘that rare ability to express sentiment without sentimentality.’ Another is his gift for bringing the reader up short with something simple—to quote Youmans again, ‘by evoking the often-overlooked details of life, he enables others to see a place, no matter how familiar, as if for the first time.’”
