Almost thirty years after Philip Hall Likes Me. I Reckon Maybe., Greene has revived self-conscious but spunky Beth Lambert to narrate another novel about growing up in Pocahontas, Arkansas. The first half of the book provides encounters with familiar characters and situations, but the second half offers little resolution. Still, readers who haven't forgotten Philip Hall may appreciate this chance to renew their acquaintance.
