I wasn\u2019t sure I was ready for a book about the \u2018Big One\u2019 — you know, the long-feared earthquake said to be looming along the West Coast, but Peck had a way of getting me to turn the pages.
Intrigued by the characters, I almost couldn’t wait for the Vancouver ground I live on to shake, only in a fictionalized story. Frances Peck’s plot magnifies broken relationships in a now-broken city and complex characters in a now-convoluted situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes it takes a physical or emotional shake to help us reconsider the lack of balance in our lives. Still, by the end of the book, I was relieved to stand on unbroken ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
