I am a Chris Bohjalian fan and I was very satisfied with this book, although it is a little different than his others. In most of his writing, I find very ordinary characters going through a crisis of one kind or another and the impact it has on their life. In Skeletons at the Feast you have ordinary people whose lives have become part of a universal horror. This horror is collective and all of the characters share in it. The tragedy is all encompassing and nobody escapes the ramifications of a world they do not control. The book has a lot to say about tolerance, forgiveness and bravery. The book also reminded me that we are ALL a part of the human race and are responsible for each other.
