## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    I enjoyed this book. Not a Hallmark tale. Sad. Easy read. Makes one reflective.
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2019*

Too give some background. A couple of favorite authors of mine are Irving and Conroy in fiction. I really liked this book. This story is a bit dark. Plenty of sadness to go around. About decisions and their  consequences. About the Rube-Goldberg effect of various decisions and the confluence of lives. To me Clegg' writing is sparse and the story unravels as the pages fly by. A different kind of story. One that makes you think. One that you should read.

    Lovely Handling of Tough Stuff
  

*by E***. on Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2020*

I cannot recommend this book highly enough!Clegg is a very gifted writer in so many ways. His method of character development is really stellar, his use of language is top rate.  Most importantly, he manages to weave a lot of life's harsher or challenging realities into a wonderful novel that is somehow NOT horribly depressing!In fact, despite the "heavy" stuff, I found this book achingly beautiful in so many ways.Obviously, this book tackles profound grief, but it is so skillfully crafted that there are MANY other stories to be told within, issues to be examined.The chapters are each focused on/ narrated by one of the characters, which makes for not only an engaging format but also illustrates various (and often VASTLY differing ) points of view, beliefs, personalities, generational influences, prejudices, and the danger/ harm that's so often the result of assumptions based on rumor, gossip, or appearances.I can honestly say that I think that there's something of value for everyone in this novel, regardless of who you are. Please read it!

    Wonderful!
  

*by J***U on Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2016*

Wow!!  This is a beautiful and meandering tale of grief, blame, guilt and the lives changed forever by a terrible accident on the eve of a wedding in a small town.  The story unfolds through the eyes and heartbreak of various characters, and at various times in the chronology, starting with the morning of the disaster, but jumping to the time before and after.  June's daughter Lolly, her finace Will, her ex-husband and her boyfriend Luke are all staying at her home on the eve of Lolly's wedding, when the house explodes killing everyone inside and June is left, having been out of the house at the time, with everyone in her life gone.  After the funerals she disappears and the only person with a family member who is still in town is Lydia, the town outcast, as she tries to process her grief alone. These two tell the majority of the tale though we meet others, along the journey, damaged by life, who bring their perspective and bring the story together.  It's a skillfully and gently woven tale that nevertheless will smack you in the face with the power and grief of loss.  Once picked up and committed to, you won't want to put it down and you'll be thinking of these characters for days afterwards.  I read a few pages at a time but found it hard to follow in this manner, so about four short chapters in, I just started reading and didn't stop until I finished.
