What would you do to protect what you have? Would you conceal the truth? Would you lie outright? Would you knowingly destroy another life?
These are questions Jason Dark has to ask himself after he accidentally hits and kills a young man walking down a deserted road on rainy night. Jason has just begun to see his life coming together again as he rebuilds a family vineyard and seems to be developing a renewed relationship with his ex-wife and son, and knows all that he has gained is hanging in the balance.
The decision he makes that night, in panic and terror, will echo through his life and the lives of his family and community for years in this twisty and often bleak morality tale.
This is a compelling read, though Gadol can be a little heavy-handed with his symbolism, from the character's surname to the reflection of the weather in the overall mood of the story.
