The Secret Mitzvah of Lucio Burke
The Secret Mitzvah of Lucio Burke | Steven Hayward
1 post | 1 read
The Secret Mitzvah of Lucio Burke is a hilarious and memorable first novel about youth and passion, family and community, miracles and violence and baseball. This moving love story, also a richly imagined chapter of Toronto history, begins on a summer afternoon in 1933, when Lucio Burke knocks a great ungainly bird out of the Toronto sky with a single perfect throw of a baseball. Thus it is that Lucio, a careful seventeen-year-old whose father died the night he was born, is drawn out of himself and into a complicated world.

Found a box of books in the basement, came across this one! Read it in high school, but honestly, I couldn't tell you what it's about. Adding it to my pile of "to read" books! #stevenhayward #oldbecomesnew #newbooksmell #yyj #collector #bookloversunite #booklover #upnext

Churchlady I had Stephen as a professor in undergrad! He's awesome! 8y
