Twenty-five years ago, on a campus paralyzed by a snowstorm, beautiful 19-year-old Vinca Rockwell ran away with her philosophy teacher after they began a secret affair. For Vinca, "love is everything or nothing". She is never seen again. The once inseparable Manon, Thomas and Maxime - Vinca's best friends - have not spoken since graduation. Twenty-five years earlier, under terrible circumstances, the three of them committed a murder and buried the body in the gymnasium wall, the same wall that is about to be demolished to make way for an ultramodern new building.

When Dan suddenly goes missing, his disappearance evokes dark memories that take Lucy back more than thirty years—to the day her brother vanished without a trace.

Close to Perfect
I can’t say enough about this book.
Well, let’s just say I can’t think of anything bad to say and I can ALWAYS find a at least a little something! Characters were believable. Narration was so good I didn’t even notice it (always a good sign). Story was original and interesting. The most impressive bit was the ending which was not overly complicated or dramatic but just enough. I feel very satisfied and good about the purchase!

A 1950s era housewife mentality disguised as a ripped-from-the-headlines family drama
I was so looking forward to this book. I expected a deep, painful dive into the horrors postpartum depression can visit upon a mother and her children in extreme cases. And for a good 2/3’s of the book, I was not disappointed. But alas the author did not have the courage to follow through. Without spoiling too much, the story devolves into a ode to 1950s style domestic goddesses, with some nods to modern feminism that won’t fool the astute reader. Instead of confronting the story head on, the author chickens out and offers up a soap opera, complete with standard issue characters, including a villain that everybody loves to hate. Older, barren, career driven, lacking maternal instinct and after the husbands of the younger, fertile icons of devoted motherhood. All the men are tangential and given a free pass in this intense family drama. Cause they’re men. That’s how trite this story becomes. But worse, beneath the surface, I found a current of good old fashioned misogyny lurking. The kind women visit upon each other.

Completely engaging -- A+++
Sarah Vaughn is without a doubt one of my favorite authors, and I've been anxiously waiting for this book to appear since finishing her excellent, "Anatomy of a Scandal." "Little Disasters" is WELL worth the wait. Like her other books, it's intelligent, insightful, and beautifully narrated. And also like them, it offers readers a deeply satisfying and totally immersive psychological experience. The story--which focuses on the pressure society places on women to be "perfect" mothers--is told from the perspectives of multiple characters and across different time frames. I love Vaughn's strong but vulnerable female characters and her mastery of dialog, authentic details, and evocative settings. Can't wait for her next novel!

This book was painfully boring. I’m shocked that some of the reviews called this a page turner. I kept waiting for it to get more interesting or exciting but it never did.
