Title: In a Summer of Kidnappings....
Product review: this book is especially touching, even heartwrenching. Alice Sebold, of course, did not know when she labored over this beautiful, haunting book that killed kids would be headlines this summer of 2002. Especially the Elizabeth Smart case, unsolved, resonated for me while reading this. A really powerful read, and I add my 2 cents to the many others who loved it. Whether it would have affected me less without this zeitgeist, I have no way of knowing.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
