"I read This Howe, This Taunt at one sitting, something I rarely do. The book is like a faceted diamond that you turn round and round, so that the light keeps falling on the varied colors and dazzlements of the jewel. Its center is the grasping, roving imagination of Bob Hamblin that sets one perspective after another on fire. After a while, the reader rushes a bit toward the section endings, because one has been taught to anticipate finding calm, elegance there.ùJay Martin, author of Journey to Heavenly Mountain<BR><BR>"Beautifully crafted, with a structure that reminds one of Thoreau's Walden, Bob Hamblin's This House, This Town is an incredibly moving synthesis of history, personalities, places, family love and lore of a house, a city, a river, and a couple still very much in love with life and with each other."-William L. Frank, editor of The Fictional World of William Hoffman
