This is a most unusual book, but I found myself reading it constantly, as I was so engrossed in the story. It's a very cerebral tale with extremely deep insight into a life that has come apart at the seams due to a spouse becoming a complete stranger after 18 years of marriage. The protagonist wife is in deep denial about her husband's lies and terrible secrets, but eventually she gets through it and moves herself and her 12 year old son to another state. This is definitely one of the best books I've ever read. If you're looking for a crime novel, this isn't it. This is a deeply psychological and emotional story of a woman's transition through extreme horror and emerging on the other side changed and improved.
