This book was another book club choice, and it was a doozy. It's a fictionalized version of the harm a real (and really evil) person inflicted on people in the early 20th century, which has repercussions that linger to this day (but that rant* is outside the scope of this blog, unfortunately). The characters were well done and I liked the changing points of view between events that took place in the 1930s and the impact they have in the present day. As the two stories converge, the truth emerges, and I thought that part of the novel was really well done. I read this book compulsively, wanting to find out what had happened and how the stories came together. There should be a lot of good discussion of this book.
*One thing I will allow myself to say here is that evil people like Georgia Tann make me hope there is some kind of judgement in an afterlife, as she is someone who should be punished severely for the horrible things she did.
