Book summaryA woman named Marian has killed herself, and during the year that follows her friends give their version of events, in an overlapping multiple narrative that seeks to discover the truth behind an event that changed them all irrevocably.Media Reviews"The book is carefully constructed in the form of a triangle: the first and last chapters take place on the first anniversary of Marian's death: the middle chapter is the vortex, the only one written from Marian's point of view and the one in which she dies. The chapters in between work backward and forward in time to her suicide and through the year since her death....[Bell] has an uncanny understanding of the way many people must struggle to live." -- Roberta Silman, New York Times Book Review Publisher NotesThe death of Marian, a modestly successful illustrator in Manhattan, touches the lives of many people in surprising ways.
