Thank you members for another stimulating discussion. Do we really know anyone? Would
your curiosity overwhelm you, would a sealed letter be safe in your possession? What would
you as a parent do when faced with a moral dilemma regarding your child; or regarding
your spouse? When looking from the outside it is easy to judge another, but if it happened to
you - what would you do?
“Moriarty shows how Cecilia struggles to live her life as she did before the secret
burdened her marriage –like those Berliners who attempted normalcy after the
infamous wall went up/came down.” Library Journal Review
