Bedside table: A terrific novel and a terrific memoir, both about life in Maine

Bedside table: A terrific novel and a terrific memoir, both about life in Maine This Mainer is reading, and enjoying, books by Maine literary royalty - Monica Wood and Richard Russo. Share “I have just finished reading ‘When We Were the Kennedys’ by Monica Wood. It is an enthralling look at growing up in a Maine mill town, Mexico, host to the famous Oxford Paper mill. I chose this book partly due to recommendations, and partly due to its real-life look at Maine in the 1960s. I was amply rewarded. “I am now two-thirds of the way through Richard Russo’s ‘Empire Falls.’ Although a work of fiction, it is based on solid Maine ground. Again it provides insight into living and growing up in Maine, which is the main reason I chose to read it. Again, I have been fully rewarded.
