Careless by Deborah Robertson. Very Interesting book. this book shows us that an emotional trauma (a father kills six children at an outdoor playgroup and then himself) diminishes. The principal characters - the survivor for example, fazes out, as does her relationship with her mothers as other indirect and unrelated characters enter the story as it progresses until finally one is left without any real resolution and the event is left in the far distance.

First 20 pages are ok. But as I read through, I become less interested with the topics and arguments/opinions he wrote. Some of them are nothing new (IMHO).Quote:
