It took me a few chapters to get into this book because it's outside my usual go-to taste, but ultimately I really enjoyed this sympathetic but not treacly portrayal of an alcoholic doorman in the 70s. Con is sort of an anti-hero who you will find yourself simultaneously wincing at and rooting for.

Cornelius Sky by Timothy Brandoff is an interesting study of a man who had a poor beginning and goes through life making mistakes and drinking too much. He earns his living working at an upscale brownstone where, incidentally, Jacqueline Kennedy lives. Daughter Caroline is away at school by then, so her son, John, spends a lot of time by himself. He is befriended by Cornelius Sky, who recognizes the loneliness in the boy.. Cornelius' marriage has foundered and his relationship with his children is broken. Due to his drinking, he makes mistake after mistake and loses his job. He agrees to go to AA meetings with his newfound friends and his life improves with sobriety, including his relationship with his children.… (lisätietoja)

A good book, but so sad! I felt like Connie, the main character meant well, but got frustrated with him and his drinking. This book shows the effects that suicide can have on families for years to follow. Connie’s father committed suicide when he was a child, Connie is an alcoholic, and his kids suffer.

Enjoy!
I have to leave a longer review even though I said so much on my video about it. I only made to page 30. I did not like the characters or the writing in the book as well.
