"I wasn't rich, but my life was secure. That had always been its fundamenta l premise," observes Ethan Learner, an English professor at a small college in Connecticut. Moments later, his 10-year-old son, Josh, is killed by a h it-and-run driver, inaugurating a novel of terrible beauty that charts the progress of grief with concerto-like precision. For Ethan, his wife, Grace, and their daughter, Emma, Josh becomes both a cold absence and a constant, haunting, unfulfilled promise. For Dwight the driver who killed Josh the e vent stands as more evidence of a significantly flawed life. Dwight is no c artoon villain; with a son, an ex-wife and a history of sudden violence, he 's like a lesser Ethan a poor father who, through incompetence, has killed another man's son.
