A masterpiece. I wish I'd read this book this morning when I was still able to write coherently instead of midnight when I'm in the last seven hours of a twenty-four hour read-a-thon.
I loved the way the author switches from first person singular narrator to first person plural narrator in the story. I also loved the way the author provides little glimpses of the future for the characters who pop into the narrative. These give the story a big vision both broad and yet full of disappointment.

First Alice McDermott book - a quick, compelling read. It's a familiar story, but made more compelling but the tangle of grief and love. That was much more interesting to me then the fight "that night" about which the book is named.
