Description

In Salthill-on-Hudson, a half-hour train ride from Manhattan, everyone is rich, beautiful, and -- though they look much younger -- middle-aged. But when Adam Berendt, a charismatic, mysterious sculptor, dies suddenly in a brash act of heroism, shock waves rock the town. But who was Adam Berendt? Was he in fact a hero, or someone more flawed and human?

    Overall, I enjoyed this book. There were many, many characters in the book to keep track of. Almost every character development was extensive & from different points of view. There were parts of the book that were confusing due to switching back and forth from character to character. It was well written however and I read it in its entirety because I was curious to find out what happened to the characters in the end.
