Specters of a past calamity haunt the members of a rural California family. Thus, in the first two-thirds of this book we follow them as they search for new beginnings. Then two characters melt away. What happens to them? Interpolate to your own desire. The last character has emigrated to rural France to search the life of an obscure writer; the final third of the book is about that writer; the original character is lost to the reader. Frankly, while I found the early plot rather ordinary, this part became downright tedious. Al least for me, non-sophist that I am.
