Does the death of a child haunt those involved? In this case, when the characters of the novel leave a wedding, stoned and inebriated, the car in which they are riding, hits and kills a young girl walking along the road. The driver is indicted and spends a few years in prison but the young girl's death affects the lives of all who were in the car in different ways. The reader follows these individuals through their lives until, in one way or another, their memories of the accident begin to fade or cease. It's sad story and similar to one I read earlier this year which was not fiction. I enjoyed that one much more.
