Henry Hayden is a great unreliable, unlikeable character with just enough good within him to be a somewhat likable soul, yet he wreaks a swath of destruction in his wake, from childhood on. Currently he manifests himself as a well-known, prolific writer; but his wife is the actual author of his many books.
The eddies and currents of the book are frequent with flashbacks and switches from what Henry is thinking and what is actually going on. Overall I had no problems following the novel except a scene in which Fasch, from his hospital bed, calls Henry. Then three paragraphs later, Henry is sitting on the hospital bed with no sense of how he arrived there. I read several pages of the scene multiple times to see if I had missed Henry driving to the hospital or something, but no.
Overall, I enjoyed the book.
