 Pearl, an American language student, has chained herself to the embassy in Ireland and chosen to starve to death as a witness to the goodness of a boy who died.  Her mother’s and close friend’s stories are woven into hers as they try to understand what she is doing and how they can save her.  Very character driven.  Explores themes of forgiveness, atonement, the reason for living, and families.  This is the best book I’ve read since The Poisonwood Bible.   hide
