In Blue Diary Alice Hoffman is at her irresistible best - gripping, compassionate, lyrical, and full of disturbing surprises.
Ethan and Jorie, a perfect, beautiful couple, have been married for 13 years, and are still very much in love. A young girl's phone call exposes him, and nothing will ever be the same for any of them - as nothing could ever be the same for that other young girl who was raped all those years ago, or for her family.
Ethan and Jorie, a perfect, beautiful couple, have been married for 13 years, and are still very much in love. Ethan is a pillar of the community, but 13 years ago he committed a brutal rape and murder.
