"Gripping and propulsive, Kristin Koval's
Penitence
is an exploration of the struggles and impossible choices of two families linked by tragedy, guilt, blame and love." --
The Washington Post
For readers of Ann Patchett and Celeste Ng,
is a poignant exploration of love and forgiveness.
It's a suspenseful, addictive page-turner filled with literary insight that compels readers to consider whether the worst thing we've ever done is all that defines us.
When a shocking murder occurs in the home of Angie and David Sheehan, their lives are shattered. Desperate to defend their family, they turn to small-town lawyer Martine Dumont for help, but Martine isn't just legal counsel--she's also the mother of Angie's first love, Julian, a now-successful New York City criminal defense attorney. As Julian and Angie confront their shared past and long-buried guilt from a tragic accident years ago, they must navigate their own culpability and the unresolved feelings between them. Spanning decades, from the ski slopes of rural Colorado to the streets of pre-9/11 New York City and back again, Kristin Koval's debut novel
is an examination of the complexities of familial loyalty, the journey of redemption, and the profound experience of true forgiveness.
