Alice Hoffman
288 pages
Lyrical, odd, and in the end, not exactly satisfying to me. This the story of a reversal of fortune - or, perhaps, a cyclical path back to ruin - for a pillar of a small community, Ethan. He and his wife are beautiful, in love, and have a sweet, kind son. When a crime from the past surfaces, the community takes sides - support or condemnation, and who takes what side is not always predictable. I found myself liking moments or shades of character more than the novel itself.
