I read the back of this book which I believe has been revised since the US release as other reviewers have commented on the spoilers within it. I don't know what that one said, but I do know that the image I had from reading the back of the UK edition did not entirely prepare me for the story that lay ahead. It hints at a problem concerning one character which really is not the focus of the story at all, so I would simply suggest taking this with a pinch of salt, and keeping an open mind as you read.
This is the first book that I have read by Anna Quindlen but it certainly won't be the last and I am very grateful to the publishers for this introduction to such a stellar author. We also have a review of her [[Still Life With Breadcrumbs by Anna Quindlen|Still Life With Breadcrumbs]].
This is a book like no other, and as such comparisons are hard, but for another book that has gripped me in a similar way recently I would highly recommend Emma Donoghue's [[Room by Emma Donoghue|Room]] while for another look at family tragedy, [[We Need To Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver]] springs to mind.
