Bravo!! There is an interview with the author at the end of this book. In it, the author writes, "I wanted to give readers a good solid story and reading experience that is as sensual as it is cerebral." Yes you did Mr. Goolrick! I couldn't stop reading. This is unlike anything I have ever read and I couldn't stop. The setting gives a quiet building to the plot. The surprises unfold in a gentle way rather than in sock it to ya punches. I found this added to the despair expressed by the characters because of their choices in life. When the repressed rage finally escapes it's confinement the relief is evident and healing. Life goes on in a different way. This is my first Robert Goolrick book, I will be reading more.
