I'm not one to cry at books, but the descriptions and actions of certain characters - Wade, in particular - tugged at my heartstrings and had me frequently teary-eyed. This book is about the many kinds of love that we are capable of along with the sacrifices that we are willing to make in order to affirm that warm, compassionate love. (  ) cbwalsh | Sep 13, 2023 | It is told in “patchwork” style, moving back and forth among characters and timelines to portray a segment of the story, which the reader will need to piece together. Several segments have little to do with the main storyline and I kept wondering why all these detours were needed. We visit Wade’s father, a schoolmate of one of the daughters, a prison inmate, and others only loosely related. I liked the creative way the story was told, but after finishing, I felt a vague dissatisfaction. I kept wondering: Why did Ann get involved with this family? Why did Jenny kill her daughter? Why did Wade not look harder for his missing daughter and what happened to her? It is not a stretch to then wonder: Why did I read this book? If you like a linear story or one where answers to a mystery are provided, this is not your book. I do not need all things tied up in a bow and am generally comfortable with open endings, but this one goes to extremes. I am left with an ambivalent feeling – 3 stars. (  ) Castlelass | Oct 30, 2022 | Nueve años después, Ann, la segunda esposa de Wade, se encuentra sentada en la misma camioneta. No puede dejar de imaginarse el terrible suceso, tratando de entender por qué ocurrió, y decide emprender una búsqueda urgente para hallar la verdad y así recuperar los detalles del pasado de Wade, que desde hace un tiempo muestra signos de demencia. Novela de prosa exquisita y contada desde distintos puntos de vista, Idaho es un impresionante debut sobre el poder que la redención y el amor nos otorgan a la hora de convivir con lo incomprensible. bibliotecayamaguchi | Oct 10, 2022 |  ) hobbitprincess | Nov 29, 2021 |
