"In opera, they say a tragedy ends with a funeral and a comedy ends with a wedding. Richard Russo's new novel, "That Old Cape Magic," declares itself at once: it starts with a wedding, as well, of course, as ending with one. Russo has written six previous novels, among them the Pulitzer Prize-winning "Empire Falls," and we've come to expect certain things: a complicated skein of plotlines, deep connection to place, and affection for the large cast of characters who blunder and struggle through his pages. "That Old Cape Magic" does not disappoint."
