Trouble. Coming of age in the late 1980s had much in common and much different from other times. Eleanor Henderson uses the four hundred pages of her novel, Ten Thousand Saints, to present drugs, music, and intense experiences and relationships. The characters are wounded, damaged, neglected, abused and loved. There’s tragedy and trouble amid caring while adolescent and adult behavior don’t necessarily match up with the ages of the characters. Set in Vermont and New York City, there’s an energy to this novel that will keep most readers engaged. By the end, most readers will be glad to close the book and appreciate one’s own life and experiences. Rating: Three-star (Recommended)
