A darkly comic novel, this book tells the story of Thurlow Dan and Esme. It is an odd love story, neither are really ready for love yet both are craving it. Thurlow is a cult leader...although he doesn't really think it is a cult, just a caring group. Esme is a secret agent of sorts, working with a North Korean defector. How these two ever hook up is kind of a mystery. But now it is 10 years later and they are no longer together, both, however, still not happy, still looking for a different life. I don't know how to talk about this book without giving away plot spoilers. I found the book frustrating at times but then hard to put down. It is an odd story of human connections or lack thereof with a little kidnapping thrown in for good measure.
