"I used to think that if you fell from grace it was more likely than not the result of one stupendous error, or else an unfortunaate accident."

I love this book, and I have found myself defending it to almost everyone else who read it. People complained to me that they could not read...

I thought this book was depressing, sad, and overall pretty bad. I know it got rave reviews, but not from me. Don't waste your time!

    I remember loving this book, but that was way way before I had a child so I might not like it now, it was part of Oprah's book club.

    I think this is Jane Hamilton's best.

    I did not like this book at all. It started out with a horrifically sad event and continued to add one depressing event on top of the other. I was depressed the entire time I was reading it, and only suffered through to the end in hopes of some enlightenment or some redeeming feature. I actually threw this book in the trash when I finished it rather than donating it to a library- I don't think anybody else should suffer through reading something so depressing!

    One of the most emotionally powerful books ever-- great insight into the dynamics of guilt, accusations of child abuse, terrible times that this couple survive.

    This book has been a little difficult to read as the father of a one year old, but the writing and style are unique and have drawn me in.

    Sad, realistic story. Well written but too depressing.
