Bird in Hand by Christina Baker Kline

I started reading this book yesterday and I finished it this morning. Yes it was good and read quickly! The story begins with a tragic accident in which a young boy is killed. It wasn't Alison's fault - although she had been drinking. It devastates her and affects her marriage to Charlie. At least that's what she thinks - actually there is a little bit more going on. And it's going on with Alison's best friend, Claire. Claire's husband, Ben, is totally unaware although he knows their marriage is a bit wobbly. This is a book about relationships - between spouses and between friends. Very well written. We have some other books by Kline in the library - I will definitely be checking those out too.
