Alfred A. Knopf 2011
An electronic book, from the Pierce County Library.
An unusual story, narrated by a character named Tony Webster. It begins when he is an adolescent, becomes friends with a young man named Adrian, and falls in love with a young woman named Veronica. The story is told from Tony's old age. He is retired, perhaps seventy years old. He tells how he fell out with Veronica, who went on to form a partnership with Adrian, which he very much resented.
This is a story about consequences, remorse, and regret, but it is not a depressing novel.
Life does not reward merit, Tony Webster tells us.
