I was fascinated by this book. I have never read The Great Gatsby (I know, you're shocked), so I spent as much time trying to figure out what had happened in that book as I did trying to figure out what was going on in The Double Bind. But both activities were entertaining.I don't want to say too much about The Double Bind, for fear of spoiling it for anyone who hasn't read it. I can't say that I was surprised by the ending, because it was a little bit predictable, but I enjoyed getting there, every step (or pedal turn) of the way.
I need to check out some more Chris Bohjalian. Suggestions?
I tried to read Midwives once and couldn't get into it. Maybe I should give this one a try!
