2 journalers for this copy...
I got this at a library book sale, and I am still reading it. When I'm done, I will release it.
A fascinating read - I loved the way he unfolded the story through each characters point of view. Makes you think about common perceptions, and peoples motivations.

Released on Wednesday, July 14, 2004 at Released to a fellow bookcrosser. in Rochester, New York USA.
Received from fellow BookCrosser at Meet-up July 13. I had previously heard a lot about this book. In 2002 it was the book of choice for the "If All of Rochester Read the Same Book..." initiative, but I didn't read it then. After I finish one or both of the books I'm reading now, I might start it.
I have just given this book to a colleague. We both vacation near where the story is set in the Adirondack Mountains, so I think he'll appreciate it in the way that I did; although I had to warn him that as a parent, it's a difficult book to read. Despite the tragedy that occurs at the beginning of the novel, the central characters tell their own stories, which keep the reader captivated.
