A profoundly moving novel about two neighboring families in a suburban town, the friendship between their children, a tragedy that reverberates over four decades, and the power of forgiveness.

This is a good read. The characters felt real and as a reader you want to know what motivated or caused each of them to become the person they are. While I enjoyed this book tremendously, it didn’t wow me. I have to say that the last couple of chapters were pretty emotional to read.
