Frank R. Jarnot's UNEXPECTED MEETING is Released
Two high school sweethearts, old friends, find themselves back in old territory. The stakes, though, are now different as they have matured–the man himself a famous novelist. In this romantic story with a tragic vein set in Connecticut, “the land of steady habits,” the state, its people, traditions and folkways stand brightly in the background. They serve to create the habitable air of Unexpected Meeting, a strangely engaging novel by Frank Jarnot. Through it moves an autumnal spirit (the characters themselves are approaching middle age) which, in many instances, seems to recall how New England is the rocky cradle of the Mayflower Pilgrims.
