All That I Remember about Dean Cola | Tania Chandler

1 post | 2 read | 1 to read

The boys from back home stand beside the bed, watching her bleed onto the white sheet. 'He only said to scare her,' one of them says. Sidney is happily married to her firefighter husband and thinking about having a child, but her life has been marred by psychotic breakdowns. Haunted by memories of Dean Cola -- the teenage crush who is an essential piece of the puzzle that is her past -- she returns to the town where she grew up. Something unthinkable happened there, but is she strong enough to face it? A compelling portrait of mental illness, memory, and the ways that the years when we 'come of age' can be twisted into trauma.

All That I Remember about Dean Cola | Tania Chandler

pick

A very propulsive weekend read, which I found myself reluctant to put down. Chandler does more than the average mystery-writer, exploring the long term impacts of trauma with a sensitivity and insight which exceeded my expectations. Her treatment of mental illness is thoughtful. It adds layers to the plotting of this mystery, without being gimmicky. It kept me guessing for just the right amount of time. This was an original, engaging novel.
