This was a really great novel about infidelity and growing up. It had some interesting plot twists I couldn't predict and beautiful imagery and he used a number of vocabulary words that my wife and I didn't know. And that doesn't happen all that often. I want to read more Morley now.
Strange scary and atmospheric cover design of shadowy figures arm in arm - US Penguin style. Haven't read the book.
