Wonderful book! Complex people caught in a situation not easily resolved. The "human stain" is that part of life that we cannot control. It is also about secrets and ambition. When we want something badly enough, sometimes we hurt others to get what we want. All of us are secret bearers and that is why this book speaks to the humanity of us all. Philip Roth knows how to write about people, their thoughts, their feelings, their insights. This is remarkable literature.
