It was so nice to read a beautifully written book with actual, developed characters, and a fully realized plot after the crap I’ve been reading. I might be giving this book an artificially inflated review just because of the comparison. Really, though, it’s written extraordinarily well, with descriptions that leap off the page, and similes and metaphors that are not at all heavy handed or obvious. To be honest, the premise wasn’t intriguing to me, but I picked it up because it was popular and recommended and well thought of by people whose opinions I respect. Also, it was .25 cents at a garage sale. However, I was captivated by the lives of David & Norah Henry, their son Paul, and the Down Syndrome baby, Pheobe, that David gave up at birth. David told Norah that Pheobe died, and that secret influences their family in many ways. David’s nurse, Caroline, was told to bring the baby to an institution, but instead she keeps the baby and raises her as her own. As a reader, you are constantly trying to figure out how the secret will eventually be discovered. A few times they are so close your heart starts racing. The book spans more than 25 years, but is divided into sections approximately five years apart, and we are given a few chapters on the lives of each of the characters during some important milestones in their lives. The dynamism of the characters, while still remaining fundamentally trapped in their former lives and lies is stunning. For the author to be so genuine in writing the inner lives of such a disparate cast is truly an accomplishment.
