But first, a word from ... Today's Sponsor
Quite an emotional experience, reading this book. It was not what I had expected going in. I read the short story on which it is based and was looking forward to an interesting romance.
The book it became is much more complex. It takes a sharp left turn half way through that I did not see coming. It did allow the story to explore something so much bigger: the way memory works, the way people try to put together lives based on just pieces.
The language was beautiful and the characters were achingly believable. The author's ability to show the point of view of so many different people at different times in their lives is very impressive.
A couple of uses of language that really stood out to me: "...with a voice that reminds me of the rumble strip on a highway" and "I sensed she'd been distant, drifting away from us the same way you can be standing still in the ocean, thinking you're not moving, and then you look up and realize you've drifted far from where you thought you were."
I'm a little bit heartbroken right now, a lot shook. This book is a powerful experience.

Here's the set-up:
When Koty Fowler's husband volunteers her to visit Jamie, a quadruple amputee who lost his limbs in Iraq, neither Koty nor Jamie is happy. Jamie resents being “babysat” every day. Koty resents her lot in life: almost 30, mother of three, and trapped in an unhappy marriage in Granite Creek, a small New Hampshire town. But when Koty and Jamie come together in a sexually-charged situation, everything changes. While Koty continues to explore her relationship with Jamie, her life at home spirals out of control: her sometimes-abusive husband drinks too much, and her middle daughter is on a destructive path, skipping school and getting into fights, while Koty's other two girls are left to watch. What happens next, however, leaves everyone reeling, and the Fowler family must learn how to move forward, even as they struggle to understand what happened in their own backyard. Told in multiple viewpoints and spanning across nearly two decades, "What Happened in Granite Creek" brings readers on a journey of intrigue and unexpected twists while reminding us that nothing is ever what it seems.
