Nothing is quite forgotten in brooklyn
"The repercussions of one week in the spring of 1989 will haunt Constance Tepper for the rest of her life. While her mother is out of town visiting Marlene, her oldest friend, Con travels from her home in Philadelphia to Brooklyn to care for her mother's cat. Almost immediately, Con's purse is stolen, her daughter goes missing, Con decides to leave her husband, and, finally, she gets a phone call from Marlene saying that her mother has suddenly died. Fourteen years later, Con is forced to reconsider this traumatic time when visits from her daughter, ex-husband, and Marlene coincide. There is "more than one way of telling the truth," Con discovers, and the tricks the mind can play after so much time make the elusiveness of memory either a blessing of self-defense or a catalyst for disaster"--Booklist.
