“A strong sense of authority marks this writer’s work. The central event in these characters’ lives almost doesn’t bear looking at, and yet the narrator recounts it succinctly and matter-of-factly, and… trusts the reader to understand the currents flowing beneath. The story is remarkable for all that it leaves unsaid.”  —Fiction Judge Anne Tyler
