Karen Osborn takes a small, Jan Karon-style town, sets it in 1967, and has a vengeful ex-husband set off a bomb in the drugstore where his former wife works. Centerville is rapidly transformed from a quaint and quiet town to a devastated group of residents trying to understand how this could happen and figure out how to put their pieces back together. The story is told from the point of view of four survivors: the reverend who married the murderer and his wife years ago; the reverend's teenage daughter, who was almost in the drugstore at the time of the disaster; one of the victim's wives who now has three children to raise on her own; and a police officer who was at the scene of the tragedy. Lovers of realistic fiction will be pulled into this tiny town to experience the loss and confusion along with its residents. Osborn portrays the emotions surrounding this destructive event in a heartfelt and vivid style, while leaving room for the hope of regrowth and recovery. ( ) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
