The Dakota Winters

Charmed. The protagonist of Tom Barbash’s novel titled, The Dakota Winters, has returned from the peace corps in 1979 at age twenty-three to his childhood home in New York City at the famous Dakota. Anton Winter lives a charmed life as he tries to help his father, Buddy, revive his career as a late-night television host. The neighbors at the Dakota include John Lennon, of course, and Lennon behaves like a regular guy, takes Anton to sea with him and on other adventures. This is a coming of age story, a family tale, and the erratic ways in which our lives play out. Rating: Four-star (I like it) Click here to purchase The Dakota Winters from amazon.com.
