A relatively slim novel, the cover copy and blurbs would give one to think it's a thriller or crime novel of some sort, but it's really not. It's a pretty conventional novel, albeit a kinda small-town-gritty one with three narrative threads that don't really connect but in the most tangential ways--though they do at least happen simultaneously. It's a pretty decent novel--I don't doubt for a moment that the blurbs are sincere--it just isn't the kind of novel you might expect from looking at the cover.
