Description
Kim Edwards's moving, emotionally complex novel—spanning three decades in the lives of a family shaped by a secret decision made in a snowstorm on the night of a birth—is one of the most widely read works of contemporary American literary fiction, exploring the long consequences of what we choose not to say and the unexpected forms that love and guilt take across time. Written with genuine emotional intelligence and the structural patience that the story's multi-decade arc requires, this is a novel that stays with its readers long after the last page. An essential read.
