I had never heard of this author or the book when I picked it up browsing. I could not put it down. This novel kept me up three nights in a row. It is a shocking and yet beautiful story. It left me with many questions and has some surprising plot twists. If I had a gripe, it was only that I wished it were longer. I wanted more when I got to the end. But the story stayed with me and I think it is a perfect book club choice. The two main characters have motivations that leave you guessing. I cried at the end and I am still not sure why. I think its because Anthony is wants true love, regardless of what stands in his way. But I know that others will read this complicated novel differently. Highly reccommended.
