An interesting take on the ancient question of guilt and the yearning to be forgiven. We all have made errors, or perhaps in the jargon of the Catholic Church, we all have sinned in our lives. How do we deal with the aftermath? Sometimes the hardest person to forgive is ourself.

I read this book for my bookclub and I'm sure it will generate a lively discussion.

The style of this book is generally straight-forward, but clues are gradually strewn throughout about the main character's act which sustains suspense. The full revelation comes very appropriately near the conclusion of the book. ( )
