A Great Summer Read


I read this last year actually, but Cara just read it and reminded me of how GOOD it is! "The Double Bind" by Chris Bohjalian (he wrote "Midwives" which is also a great read). "In his new novel, The Double Bind, a literary thriller with references to (and including characters from) The Great Gatsby, Bohjalian takes readers on a haunting journey through one woman's obsession with uncovering a dark secret. "
5 stars, people! Read it!!!
