Our lives and the lives of those we love merge to create a river whose current carries us forward from our beginning to our end. Because we are only one part of the whole, the river each of us remembers is different, and there are many versions of the stories we tell about the past. In all of them there is truth, and in all of them a good deal of innocent misremembering.

Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon and the truth. 


This novel was gripping, heart warming, moving and, at times, visceral and unsettling. But a beautifully crafted and engaging mystery.

This book had good pacing and was interesting to start but the characters were all built up for no reason only for a lackluster ending.
