Story of Arthur Truluv (Berg) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
Berg’s novel is as comforting as Lucille’s fresh-baked cookies, with plenty of charm and memorable characters. Readers will be taken by this story about how friendship can defy any generation gap and how it’s never too late to find a new purpose in life.
Publishers Weekly


[A] sweet, sentimental tale of an elderly man and a teenager coming into each other's lives at just the right moment.… [T]his life-affirming story is a … little break from the darker novels that have been so popular lately. —Beth Gibbs, Davidson, NC
Library Journal


Fans of Meg Wolitzer, Emma Straub, or Berg’s previous novels will appreciate the richly complex characters and clear prose. Redemptive without being maudlin, this story of two misfits lucky to have found one another will tug at readers' heartstrings.
Booklist


[The life-affirming messages are far from subtle, and the fine line between sensitivity and sentimentality is often breached. Aims for profound but settles for pleasant.
