Secrets of Eden

I recommend you read “Secrets of Eden” by Chris Bohjalian. The story unfolds through four points of view. The depth of the story line touches many subjects including the loss of faith, the ripple effects of domestic abuse, the explosive nature of secrets and sacrifice for those you love. The most developed character is Stephen Drew. In him all of these struggles come to light.

Bohjalian is a very talented writer, and I would like to read more of his work.
