Wow, I wasn't expecting too much from this book but I ended up engrossed and reading it in two days. I had read The Condition a while back and I vaguely remember enjoying it so when I saw Jennifer Haigh had a new book, I gave it a shot. The Blurb on the back seemed slightly misleading, as it mentioned that the brother wouldn't deny the allegations but he did to his sister, just not to anyone else. Although the novel is more of a character study, it is structured in a way that moves the plot along, and I found it hard to put down.
