Sinopsis

Condición del ejemplar: Good. Daniel Stone was once a troubled teenager in the Alaskan wilderness, the only white boy in a Yup’ik village, consumed by anger and violence. He left that life behind long ago. Now a successful comic book artist living in a quiet Maine town, he has built his identity around being a patient, devoted husband and the father who is always there for his fourteen-year-old daughter, Trixie. But the family is more fragile than it appears. Daniel’s wife, Laura, a professor who teaches Dante’s Inferno, is hiding a secret of her own. And Trixie, heartbroken after a breakup with her first boyfriend, comes home one night from a party and says that she has been assaulted. As the police investigation unfolds and the small community takes sides, each member of the family is forced into difficult choices, and Daniel must confront the man he used to be. When events take a further dramatic turn, he follows his daughter into the frozen landscape of his past. Interspersed with Daniel’s own graphic-novel illustrations, The Tenth Circle is a gripping, emotionally powerful novel from Jodi Picoult about the lengths a parent will go to protect a child, and the hidden layers within every family. Compelling and thought-provoking, it raises difficult questions with compassion and honesty.
