Since others have told the story, I will stick to my reactions: totally captivating, well-written, great characterizations. Suspense without gore; sadness without tragedy; unputdownable. I can't say the book was totally without gore: part of the tale takes place in Vietnam during the war. But this is a truly wonderful and haunting exploration of how past guilt is ever-present no matter how we bury it or keep it alive and how it can change us. I hope you read it.
