Review
A "deeply layered and heartbreaking ride. The story is told through asequence of vignettes ... and each one complexly falls atop the next,pushing both the tension and the story faster until it bursts, albeitgorgeously, in a final climax ... A haunting and beautiful tale offriendship, forgiveness, and forgetting." -Kirkus Reviews
