Carol Anshaw
272 pages
I’ve rarely felt as weighed down as I felt after I finished this novel. Occasionally I’m in the mood for a complicated tragedy, something meaty and tear-jerky, and I though I was ready for a heavier novel, this one just never seemed to let up on the weight.
The book follows a group of siblings following a tragic traffic accident they caused. Each deals and does penance in his or her own way. While Anshaw is a gifted writer, I just didn’t find myself caring enough about her characters, which for me is the saving grace of tragic pieces.
