About Empire Falls by Richard Russo
Empire Falls is a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel set in a blue-collar town marked by abandoned mills and long-standing ties among its neighbors. Miles Roby has worked at the Empire Grill for twenty years, a job that came at the cost of his college education and, he feels, much of his self-respect.
His life is bound up with his daughter Tick, his soon-to-be ex-wife Janine, and Francine Whiting, the imperious woman who owns much of the town. Richard Russo brings humor, heartache, and hope to a story of local loyalties and feuds. It will suit readers drawn to character-focused fiction about working-class American life and close-knit communities.
