“Overall, a good read, I especially liked getting Howard's point of view. The family went through dramatic changes- when young mother Alice's innattention causes the drowning death of a neighbor child, and then is accused of child abuse at the school where she teaches. I thought the latter third of the book seemed rushed, particularly concerning Howard. For some reason, the end wasn't satisfying...not that you always have to have a happy ending. Something felt missing.”
