Following the probable abduction of Hugh, the eldest of three children, the Furey family unravels. This novel explores the lives of the siblings that are left behind, trying to find their way without any direction from parents who have disappeared behind grief. Powerful and well-written.

I really enjoyed this book - I forgot how beautifully Lisa Carey writes. Though it initially took me a little bit to get into it (perhaps since the last three books I read were essays, rather than a real story), once it did get going, it was a very sad but engrossing story. I am very glad that I read it and that it ended as happily as it did. There weren't too many loose ends and all in all, I still really like this author - though I did enjoy _The Mermaids Singing_ more.
