This is another stunner from Ann Patchett of Bel Canto fame. I hadn't expected it to be so riveting.
The setting is Boston and the theme is the everlasting American theme of race. The story takes place over a few days, the dysfunctional family (the white Irish major adopts two black kids, wife dies, birth mother stalks them, car accident, hospital, 11-year old girl heroine).
