What more is there to say but "wow"? I couldn't stop reading, and couldn't stop being affected by this story of how the consequences of one woman's act -- and who she gets herself involved with -- reverberates over decades before finally, the reckoning comes. MacEnulty writes beautifully without a wasted word, the characters break your heart and there's such sadness by the end - as I suspect was meant.
