Dexterity- A Woman's Journey

A woman refuses to live her life in quiet desperation, instead starts an improbable escape only to be called back by her son.

Great, quiet stuff

This book has a nice leisurely yet disturbing pace to it- a lot like a David Lynch film. Not to give away too much of the simple plot, I found the main character's journey on the road to be frightening and beautiful. I honestly felt completely alone reading this book, even on the train.
