I keep thinking about reviewing it, but I've been trying to take a good-sized writing break and I'm running out of summer. :)<br /><br />Wonderful review, Heather. The situation with Alison and her son Daryl was just so gripping. I didn't realize what she was doing when she was distracting him with the possibility of running away to the United States, and wow. Wasn't that similar to what happened in <i>Of Mice and Men</i>? <br /><br />How about Daniel being a born detective like his mother and Clare? It was Daniel who noticed that Ryan was always bringing up his father right after he got home from school. I was also freaked by Frances hanging around outside and experimenting with a possible molotov cocktail.<br /><br />Seems like an obvious observation, but John is an ass, lording his wife's infidelity over her head when he actually killed his own girlfriend.

It is horrible, but still a fascinating human drama. Happy endings are not what you will find, in this valley.Mallenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368492098724611717noreply@blogger.com
