Continental Drift by Russell Banks

4.0

---

So I was drifting along with the two somewhat slow, separate stories, waiting for them to meet, enjoying the writing but not particularly engrossed . . . until the last 125 pages, when it all comes together magnificently and unexpectedly. Banks completely captures the lives of his two protagonists, and the complex realities of their disparate existences, and brings absolute magic to the (unexpected) denouement. Brilliant.
