Well-crafted story about a woman returning to her hometown after a number of years, having left shortly after a sexual assault as a teen. (While the assault is not detailed in the book, the story heavily centers around its after-effects and the choices various characters have made.) Lots of complex, dynamic characters and no easy/perfect options. There are a handful of minor narrative/geographic/timeline inconsistencies that I found slightly distracting (but not enough to impede the story overall), or it'd be 5 stars.
