Snow Angels by Stewart O'Nan

This is the story of the unraveling of two different families in a small Pennsylvania town. The stories intersect and it's a beautiful, deceptively simple book.

Arthur is in high school when his parents divorce, and Annie, his old babysitter dies. Each story unfolds, and it's quite the gripping read.

I actually stayed up late reading this book so that I could finish it. This is not fun, beach reading. But it's autumn now, and this book would read well on a cold, blustery afternoon.
