Customer Reviews

deceptively simple (both the book and the city it is set in)

Philip Baruth has accomplished something very rare with The Dream of the White Village. He has captured the very soul of Burlington; a very human soul that is sad, funny, dark, and uplifting at various turns and sometimes all at once.

Collage of people you encounter everyday but don't see

This was an interesting book which effectively captures the lives of a set of people living in a small city in New England - simple, sometimes desperate, but real, life. It truly is a series of stories which is in some ways enjoyable; at the same time I wished I could have read more about some of the characters who the reader only briefly encounters. A few are really hilarious.
