Her pictures of the musicians and hangers on, the infamous, the damned, and the dead, got her into art galleries and a book deal. But thirty years later she is adrift, on her way down, and almost out. Then an old acquaintance sends her on a mercy gig to interview a famously reclusive photographer who lives on an island in Maine. When she arrives Downeast, Cass stumbles across a decades-old mystery that is still claiming victims, and into one final shot at redemption. 3354351 book 16 4 2007 Generation Loss: A Novel total:237|5:55|4:82|3:73|2:21|1:6| 237 870 406 68 5 7 false false Tue May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Oct 22 18:39:54 -0700 2007 Mon Oct 22 18:57:38 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 2 false false Wed Dec 03 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 04 07:33:23 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 04 07:42:27 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Feb 14 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 15 08:14:15 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 15 08:29:38 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sat May 12 16:13:16 -0700 2007 Thu Feb 05 20:49:45 -0800 2009 Generation Loss is impossible to put down, in the same way that it's impossible to refrain from poking a beached dead seal with a stick: repellent but compelling.
