I adored this book when I first read it, and I still highly recommend it. Of course, on a second reading, the major plot revelations are no longer surprises, and the pace seems slower. Still, there were a handful of moments that took my breath away (Henry meeting Alba at the museum jumps to mind). With the benefit of four more years of distance, the 9/11 scene rings more true and necessary than it did when I first read the book.

I hope my book club enjoyed it as much as I did!
