"The Arsonist" by Sue Miller ****

•  Audiobook
•  US author
•  Originally published in 2007
•  Review:  I had mixed feelings about this novel, until about the last third.  The scales tipped when I realized that for once, the endings (multiple plot lines) were not going to be trite at all.  There is a compassion in the writing of this book that sees people with the sense of the multi-dimensionality of human beings.  I applaud the author for her endings!  Also, having been "summer people" in a rural area all of my life, kudos for the keen grasp of the issues which arise in a lake resort area.
