Past and present tumble out of Finneran with grace and honesty. Several times during the course of reading it, I felt such sudden gasps and heartbreak, I simply had to put the book down for a moment before continuing. Many scenes will stay with me, I know, and sharply. Oh, and the title is perfect. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/125292?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
