	Review \| Distance by Jack Hodgins
		Reading one of Jack Hodgins' novels is like sinking into a warm bath: not because his stories are necessarily comforting (for no one can trace a cold emotional undercurrent like Hodgins), but because we know we are in such good hands.
		Sonny Aalto, a fiftyish entrepreneur living alone in Ottawa, is superficially successful but terminally restless, alienated from his grown son and daughter, and chronically lonely and discontented: "a man who couldn't stand still." His world travels take him to various holy shrines where he seeks a spiritual sustenance that always eludes him.
		Hodgins is completely comfortable in his little universe of Portuguese Creek, bringing back many of the earthy Island folk he created in past novels such as The Macken Charm.
