Title: I was expecting more from this great author
Product review: I have to think that this book was a cop-out. The premise, excellent: we die for real when we are forgotten. The novel starts in a very promising way. A recent widower cannot seem to enjoy life anymore. His wife's mother is going through similar grief. While it would have been fascinating to see how these two people struggled through their pain, the author sticks a "play" in the middle of the novel to explore her theory of how oblivion equals true death. The space dedicated to that pseudo-play would have been better utilized showing how the two main characters recover (or not) from their grief and how Hart's theory proves to be valid (or not).I still think Josephine Hart is an excellent writer, and recommend Sin as proof. This book did not do it for me.
