Book Description
"There is no life without a double life. And yet one grows weary..." Recently promoted to the position of Crown Court judge-jealous colleagues suggest it might be because he is black-Daniel Savage decides at midlife that it's finally time to settle down, foreswear philandering, and rededicate himself to his family. His career demands the most responsible behavior-he must be above suspicion. But Savage has been leading a double life for far too long, and a young woman from his past-who holds a secret that could ruin his career and marriage-begins making mysterious calls to his house. As tangled lies are solemnly ironed out in his court, Judge Savage finds his own existence suddenly descending into a mess of violence and confusion, and attempts desperately to get a grip on his world in the face of increasingly certain disaster.Customer Reviews:
Best Contemporary Novel in Years.......2004-03-20
Interesting but flawed.......2004-02-18
I enjoyed the book but was disappointed in two important ways. Firstly, there is no real 'ending', the story just fizzles out, exactly as if Mr. Parks had lost interest in it and wanted to move on to something else. Secondly, an important revelation does not appear; the effect is as if the author couldn't find something plausible and thus chose to simply forget about it.
So deduct a star for the the above two points. Deduct another one for the clumsy style in which dialogue is written without quotation marks. The effect of this is that the reader frequently has to skip back a sentence or two to be sure which character actually spoke. This is a shame because otherwise I would say that Mr. Parks' use of language and style is quite excellent.
In short, a good read somewhat spoiled by its failure to live up to its promise.
