The Cradle by Patrick Somerville

I read a review of this book in the newspaper months ago, and the plot sounded intriguing. So I wrote the name down and forgot about it. I found the note recently, ordered the book, and I loved it. The main character, Matt, goes on a road trip to find his pregnant wife's cradle, and along the way he uncovers all kinds of family secrets. At the same time, we meet Renee who is struggling with her son leaving to fight in the war. These stories merge only at the very end of the book. Highly recommend. Loved the writing. -June
