I loved the writing and read this in one sitting. But if you prefer your books to have some resolution you will find this one frustrating.

2.5 stars. The plot didn't go much of anywhere, and there was very little resolution in the end.

A slim character study of Selena, past and present. Set at a dinner for her husband who has just lost a political campaign, Selena fears the knock on the door of the FBI related to her husband's campaign. This fear and uncertainty causes Selena to look at her life since her marriage and to recall an intense relationship with a woman when she was in college. Well written and character driven.

Normally I prefer a little more plot, but this was a wonderful character-driven novel that leaves you pondering.
