Good read about what happens when all the rules go elsewhere if it's your own child involved in accidentally shooting her own father during a summer vacation. Chris Bohjalian can weave a story quite well, but when it comes to trying to describe breastfeeding, he fails, as his description is what a person, who has never breastfed an infant, would view it to be. People who write should never go into an area about what something feels like, until they've researched or asked someone who knows. I don't know why this bothered me, but I am kind of a stickler on realism, especially in fiction such as this. Still, the rest of the book had great conflict and storyline.
