Book review: Wise Men

Title: Wise Men
Author: Stuart Nadler
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars

Summary: Arthur Wise's career as an attorney has taken off in ways he could have only dreamed about.  He uses some of his newfound wealth to buy a family beach house in a town called BluePoint, located on the far end of Cape Cod.  The property comes with handyman Lem Dawson.  Lem's niece lives nearby and Arthur's son Hilly falls in love with her.  The problem?  Lem and his niece are black, which doesn't sit well with Arthur.  Their lives change forever one fateful night.

Review:  It's hard to write reviews for books that I finished a few weeks ago.  When I think back on this book, nothing remarkable comes to mind.  As rich kids go, Hilly is tolerable.  He shuns his father and his wealth.  I think "obsessed" is too strong a word, but I initially found Hilly's strong preoccupation with Savannah (Lem's niece) to be unconvincing.  I liked how it turned out though.
