review 1: Once again, I am impressed with the power of Liza Gyllenhaal’s storytelling. So Near, the author’s follow-up novel to Local Knowledge, is a deeply moving story of a loving, young married couple struggling with the devastating consequences of their actions – or non-actions depending on who’s doing the telling. With an alternating point-of-view structure, the details are revealed as the couple volley between self-doubt, blame, and brazen conviction. Excellent characterization, crisp emotional perception, interesting premise (you’ll learn just enough about product liability), and a satisfying conclusion that answers most questions: for me, that’s a winning combination. Once again, I look forward to Gyllenhaal’s next book. Thanks for reading.
review 2:... more> Liza Gyllenhaal's follow-up to Local Knowledge once again explores the deep roots of small town life. Coping with the aftermath of an accident in which their young daughter was killed, Cal and Jenny struggle to make sense of their loss amidst the private guilt each of them bear. Told in shifting points of view, it is a keenly observed portrait of the unraveling of a marriage, raw and packed with emotional depth. The characters are believable and finely drawn and will stick with you long after the last page has been turned. Liza Gyllenhaal has firmly established herself as a masterful storyteller, offering up the irresistible combination of beautiful, lyrical writing and unique psychological insight. less

This was a sweet story about dealing with death. Heartfelt, sad, but moving.
