This book is short, just under 200 pages, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Turns out, it was a gloriously addicting tale of decisions and deception.
We begin in an airport where our narrator meets a man named Jeff Cook, a former classmate from college. During a delay, Jeff reveals that many years ago, he saved a man from drowning.
That one gesture altered the course of his life. We switch perspectives between our narrator asking Jeff questions in the airport to bouncing back in time to how Jeff found a place in the art world with renowned art dealer Francis Arsenault.
Despite the story being a short once, it doesn’t lack suspense — and Wilson’s ending delivers. —Farrah Pennby Jessamine ChanIn the near future, the government's surveillance system has turned its eyes on mothers, scrutinizing women's behavior with dire consequences for any and every mistake.
