Through excerpts from the journal Jack keeps during therapy, and from related incidents, the author delves into the way different people deal with tragedy in their lives and the repercussions from each response. The grieving mother, the vengeful father, Jack’s wife, his children, his co-workers, his estranged father, the aunt and uncle who raised him after his mother’s suicide—all are drawn into complex emotions evoked by the tragedy and the life changes that follow.
This is a tender, touching story of grief, guilt and vengeance, and of the journey to hope and healing. There is surprise after surprise, and to tell more would, I fear, detract from your own path of discovery. I’m looking forward to reading Diamond’s next book, hoping it has the same depth of insight into human emotions.
