The Reconstructionist
Josephine Hart · 2002 · 259 pages
A psychiatrist, Jack is divorced and has lost his wife to a more uxorious man. His own past and that of his beautiful, enigmatic sister Kate certainly bear scrutiny. But until he gets a call telling him that their family house in Ireland is for sale, he has absorbed himself in the problems of others. He has successfully suppressed the anguish of his past, though the present threatens to unravel around him. When he finally returns to the house in Ireland, terrible truths emerge about what happened three years ago in a tragedy that left indelible marks on those who survived it: a family caught forever in a strange dance of death. The facts have been reconstructed many times, but the shocking truth has not.
