About this deal

Thirteen-year-old Briony Tallis witnesses her older sister, Cecilia, flirting with the housekeeper’s son, Robbie. But the innocence of youth, combined with her concern for her sister, leads to a crime that will forever change their lives. From guilt and forgiveness to healing and change, many people desire to be redeemed from the mistakes and injustices they’ve committed. But seeking forgiveness is a difficult journey and often takes time. I loved most of this book as the mystery unfolded and connections were uncovered, but I wasn’t ultimately enamoured of the direction it took, as it seemed a tad unrealistic (and left-fieldish). Lin, a convict, escapes Australian imprisonment and flees to India, where he hopes to disappear. Surrounded by the unknown, he sets up a clinic in the slums, hoping to find a place where he can belong.

I wonder if it’s because there’s a subtle (well, ish) sexual tension there and Baldacci’s wanting to drag that out.Whether classic or modern works, tons of literature have explored the theme of redemption. The idea of being forgiven and making things right is both a strong idea and desire.
