This novella grows from an inauspicious beginning into a haunting analysis of how the ripple effect of a small event can threaten and destroy all those it touches. Morally but not moralistically, Lively illustrates how even our most insignificant actions can count, how impossible it is to properly assess or control their impact on others for good or evil and that even the element of time has no boundaries. A rather horrifying book.
