This is a story about lost children and the inability to accept their disappearance. It’s highly intriguing and told with great subtlety. It is the sort of American novel that conjures atmosphere and emotion in easy strides and carries you effortlessly through a thrilling and complex tale. Thoroughly enjoyable.
