This is a moving novel about families and secrets, plus relational consequences from one night years ago. Every person in this story is fully human and leaps off the page. Dani Shapiro writes characters you will never forget. With a gun to my head, I couldn’t pick a favorite character. I loved this book and didn’t want it to end. This was my first of Shapiro’s novels but won’t be the last. 

“When she tells her story, as she will learn to do – to her brother, her father, her husband, her daughters, her shrink – this will be where she begins.“
