This book kept you turning the pages... it a son struggle with his father and his father's past. he tries to figure it out piece by piece. my favorite sentence in the book was towards the end when he said I sat alone in my fathers apartment thinking... around me were piles of loss, missed opportunity, lies , secrets, resentments ,and also smiles and pleasures, joys a whole history of a family that was no more.
It's sad at times but I enjoyed the story.

Eh. There were parts that were good, but overall this book was just OK to me. I'm still not sure in the end what actually happened.
