Bought from Peter White Public Library in Marquette, Michigan, on August 23, 2017.

An odd story, oddly told.

Pilgrim Jones, daughter of commune dwellers, is recently separated from her husband when she is involved in a tragic accident. She wakes up in the hospital not remembering anything. And when she learns what she did, she is strangely unattached to it. Others, however, accuse her with their eyes and their words, and ultimately she leaves the Swiss town where it happened and goes to Africa.

Where she works with a woman who is passionate about saving children in a type of orphanage.

However, her accident follows her, in the shape of the father of one of the victims.

However again, when she was in Switzerland she was interviewed by a police detective who appears to find her interesting not only because of how the accident occurred, and he can't get her out of his mind.

The writer assumes different points of view throughout the book, in fact devotes whole sections to different persons. Through a lot of back-and-forth we see the story come together. But how does it end?

In the book case in the sitting room downstairs.
