"We're born in the dark, looking for something to light to way."
Interesting story, about revenge and the lengths we go for it. But it's also about conflicting truths - the story we tell ourselves happened, which may differ from reality. It's another story that hints at the loss of a promising young woman at the expense of a man, just continuing through his life unaffected by the harm he caused.
But the insertion of politics was a bit distracting. It wasn't a huge piece of the plot, but knowing how it all turned out and the ripples we still feel today, it didn't add to the story for me. I also would have been okay with it being just a little darker, a little less left to chance and a little more ugly revenge. But it was good, kept me reading, and held my interest.
