Title: mesmerizing
Product review: I was so afraid this book would let me down, and while it did dip in my esteem during the Wolf love affair, it more than redeemed itself by the end. The portrayal of Faith, the older sister, is haunting and mesmerizing. The childhood flashbacks of her and her father are painful in their poignancy, and if you ask me, half the story is the complicated, destructive relationship between these two. While I could become exasperated with Pheobe and the direction her obsession with Faith's death leads her, she accepts the aftermath of her quest with such grace it is heartbreaking. Even the finish of her relationship with Wolf, that authentic final telephone conversation, redeems their melodramatic love-affair. The hope and sadness conveyed in the final section of the story is moving in its simplicity, and completey satisfying.It seems to me that this is the kind of pivotal, career-making story that every writer longs for.
