It is a very quick read, not quite a short story, but not a long novel so it can easily be read in one sitting. A political candidate on the rise, with the idyllic family, commits suicide and is quickly forgotten. However a few are still "haunted" by his death, including his sister. Character development is good and, again, good storyline and a quick read. Highly recommend. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Hal O. Costigan, candidate for Congress, is the kind of man people envy. He has a loving wife, a supportive family, and a devoted mother. Friendly, intelligent, successful, he is a man on the rise-until he is caught in an affair with a high school girl and commits suicide. On election day the reporters have forgotten him, and the radio doesn't mention his name. Around Hal's hometown, however, a handful of people continue lives that will be forever haunted by his memory. Naomi who is thrown nearly out of her mind by her brother's suicide questions even her own reason for living. Gina Berriault's work as a storywriter of great psychological empathy and extraordinary elegance and subtlety was celebrated widely at the end of her life and, with this reissue of one of her more celebrated short novels, her work can be discovered by a new generation of readers.
