Although well written, this book is a totally depressing read. I slogged my way through to the end and then wondered why I did it. If you like extreme tragedy, grief, betrayal and sloooww movement, then this is the book for you. I kept hoping for some redeeming moment to arrive. It didn't.

Wow! I really enjoyed this book. It had a story to tell and told it well. No flowery writing to get in the way. Real characters. A narrator who let us readers in on her thoughts and didn't keep secrets just for the sake of confusing us. A book with ethical issues that weren't spelled out, but nevertheless were clear. It wasn't overly complicated and obfuscated, and at the same time it didn't hit the reader over the head with a message. The characters will stay with me for a long time.

Expertly crafted, Aria tells the story of one woman, who in surviving a horrific boating accident which kills her husband and children, becomes a celebrity. Woven throughout this tale of survival, opera and family is a broad social commentary on our national cult of victimhood. Especially timely in light the recent events in New York, this beautifully written book was a great read. I recommend it to anyone fascinated with how we treat individuals who suffer tragic loss and who enjoy a compelling story.

I'm looking forward to more stories from this author!
