![]() ![]() Her husband's family seems okay at first, but events soon demonstrate otherwise, particulary with her father-in-law and his overly strict relationship with her son. Not the happiest of endings I might add, which makes me extremely happy and desirous of reading some more early John Saul."Nathaniel's" premise goes like this: Widow & her son with unbeknownst esp return to her husband's hometown, where he died mysteriously in a barn some few months previously (the widow's husband had not been back to his hometown since before he'd met his wife, and had never spoken about his family with his wife, which adds to the mystery of the storyline) and look to settle in order to raise her nine year old son and the baby - her dead husband's - on the way. ![]() Saul's prose for a genre writer is surprisingly above average, his pacing is excellent, and the characters, especially the young boy with the gift (or is it a curse?) of thought perception/communication, are well fleshed out and able to draw the reader into their psyches of turmoil, fear, & courage. Mildly suspenseful, though the surprises and twists and turns are well above average meaning, I did not see the left and right hooks coming and was a bit taken aback in a very enjoyable way. ![]()
