A woman returns to her childhood home to nurse an elderly, dying man who was the home's next owner. They each have pasts which haunt them, secrets they had tried to keep hidden. There is also some mental illness, some war trauma, and some regular old tough/happy life in this story. Well told, with interesting twists and turns (some I guessed, others I didn't).
It's a book that explores the effect secrets can have on one's personality and life choices. I found it very interesting; read it in a day and a half. Four stars instead of five because of a couple minor things that might be a bit far-fetched, but overall it's well written and compelling.
