A joy to read; abounding with appropo ‘bon mots’ such as “But our lives were misaligned . . .” and “. . . in uncertain situations people express who they are.” This book transported me into its refined but edgy world, through the first–person narrative of Gabriel Staub. He was eleven when a cruelty was perpetuated on his teenaged sister Becca, which gave him, as he stated in a later look–back “. . . a premonition of the sadness that would steal over me at the oddest moments, blanketing everything, as unseen dew wets a field in the cover of night.” The complex repercussions of that cruelty are deftly traced through ensuing decades. The characters you care about grow; others evolve or reveal. This being the mark of an author who not only writes well, but is a good storyteller too. The plotting is very well crafted. Although the story shifts backwards and forward in time, the reveals always felt fitting. A difficulty with stories like this one is that they can go flat at the end. This one didn’t. The ending did not disappoint. It was just right and in keeping with the rest — subtle and satisfying. The dialog was spot on. Reminiscent of Jan Karon’s writing, except more subtle and nuanced. Stunningly good. I look forward to reading this author’s future work. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
