They are very different: Cheever's <I>Bloomsbury</I> is a much shorter book that provides an overview of so many more of Concord's personalities, while Matteson's book is a much more detailed account of just one family. I found Matteson's book approach a more balanced look at the individuals involved and his style more readable, but suspect that a lot of people might find it <I>too</I> detailed.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-40781529412226606752008-06-30T12:13:00.000-05:002008-06-30T12:13:00.000-05:00Thank you for the great review.

It was also written in a conversational style which I really enjoyed. Have you read it?
