A man experiencing a midlife crisis, his curmudgeonly father, and his lecherous professor friend. You know, that old schtick. Well, that's what I figured early on. But I persevered and the book took unexpected turns and, in the end, was an interesting read. I especially liked the sections on dromomania, hysteria, Dr. Charcot and La Salpêtrière, as I was concurrently reading Axel Munthe's The Story of San Michele in which the doctor and the hospital appear.

Ben Allan, a Montreal literature teacher, finds himself fixated on an obscure mental illness called dromomania: a condition that causes men to abandon their daily routine and go wandering for days, even months. As he juggles strained relationships with his widowed father, his art-therapist wife and his television-addicted teenage son, it comes as no surprise that the idea of walking away from it all becomes so compelling. Allan is certain he will never wander, but when an attractive young woman with connections to the art world suddenly enters his world, the temptation to stray becomes more than an idle fancy. Written by award-winning author David Homel, Midway contains everything that readers look for to change their world: engaging characters, entertaining banter, fascinating psychology and a genuine love of life and its everyday comedy.
