An intricate, interesting tale of fascinating characters. I've enjoyed Spartina and it's sequel Compass Rose but neither was as absorbing as The Half-life of Happiness. Casey's ability to bring characters to us is almost embarassingly intimate. A good read. I'll list it again after everyone in my household has read it.
