"Provocative... Riveting.. You will turn the pages until dawn. And you will not be disappointed."
--Chicago Tribune
"Scott Turow’s second novel proves beyond any reasonable doubt that his hugely successful first was no fluke... His linear forebears are not the manufacturers of assembly-line entertainments but the likes of Theodore Dreiser and James Gould Cozzens... Surely nothing is more wholly accomplished in this fine novel than its exceptionally subtle, knowing exploration of the myriad ways in which a life can be reborn at any juncture in its course."
