Long Ago and Far Away
By Robert Joseph
An exciting coming-of-age story reminiscent of CATCHER IN THE RYE set in the last days of World War II which will thrill modern teens and remind older readers of their youth.

***MY HONEST REVIEW OF LONG AGO AND FAR AWAY***
When Toby
spends the summer with his Aunt Leyla at a mountain resort in the Poconos, he
meets Ursula. Leyla has been contracted as lead soprano in the local opera
company. Since Ursula is in the chorus, Toby agrees to be in the opera, so that
he can be near her, and also to keep an eye on his aunt like his uncle is
paying him to do. At 15 years old, Toby is still very innocent in love and
relationships, but this will be the summer that changes that.
Toby seemed to
constantly be between a rock and a hard spot. I loved his innocence and
loyalty. It took me back to the freedom of youth, and friendships I made
growing up. There’s always that summer that defines you. I think that was the
idea behind this plot, and it was very successful in taking me there.
