About book The Snow Garden (2002)

Yeah, I dunno hey. It all get's a little bit more entertaining towards the end ... although it still ends up feeling like a plot which is trying to be too much, to tell too many stories and which ends up not doing justice to any of them. Essentially it just didn't end up believable ... are there really that many messed up people living is such a confined space?! I dunno, it ended up being about as believable as Season of the Witch for me ... (which is not very!) Three students come to their freshman year of University with the expectations of a new start, avoiding the pasts that haunt them. A professor's wife dies in a car accident. This seemingly unconnected event forces the three to face their pasts and for each it is life changing.Rice weaves a tale that demonstrates that all actions have reactions. History affects the future. The self we present to others is not necessarily truth, but ultimately truth can't be avoided.
