Customer Reviews: Avg. Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 This Book Won't Make You Restless:
exquisite use of detail: I listened to an unabridged audio version of this book, and I can't say for sure how much I loved it because of the excellent quality of the reading, and how much I loved it for the characters and story. The mother-daughter storylines are somewhat imbalanced, but they have to be. The mother's story is revealed to the daughter who has to make sense of it in the midst of her own, complicated, young adult life. One character's narrative is completed (or is it?), while the other's is temporarily explored,... First Rate: This is a truly first-rate, smart, and literate thriller. It is both a page-turner and a profound meditation on identity--on what we think we know about others and ourselves. The flashback sections were definitely the strength of the book, but all-in-all a terrific novel. very interesting book: I could not not put this book down . It is a spy story with meanings on many levels. For example what do we really know about our friends and even our close relatives? What is truth and what is illusion? Appearances do not always reflect reality. A great writer. I highly recommend it. A great read.
