Helpful Score: 1

In the interest full disclosure, be aware that I am a rabid fan of Elizabeth George. This is an intriguing study of suppressed childhood memories and the havoc this can cause in adulthood when an event triggers the awakening of those memories. I readily identified with the main character who is attempting to retrieve the truth of his past while others conspire to keep it hidden. Is a child better off knowing the truth as events occur, or only later, when he "can handle it"? Who can he trust as he begins to suspect that those around him have acted not to protect him, but to serve their own self interests? You can always trust Elizabeth George to tell a story that is compulsively readable.
