This was my book club's pick for our February meeting, and it was a hit with everyone. The writing is very good, and the plot is compelling. It pulls together the stories of many people, including Paul, a college dropout; his half-sister Vincent, a bartender; Vincent's much older boyfriend Jonathan, an investment fund manager who's running a Ponzi scheme; and all the people whose paths they cross over a period of several decades. The story unfolds in rough chronological order, but with many flashbacks that clarify details and explain things left unclear in other segments. But the book holds together and leads the reader on through an unforgettable plot and conclusion.
