That said, this book is initially hard to read. The syntax is awkward. The flashback chronology springs up and smacks you, rather than carrying you seamlessly along.
But there's a reason for that. Everyone here is a bit off balance. In the more action-driven novels, it's easy to see what the problem is; it's the solution that's hard. Here, articulating the problem is more than half the battle. White takes the reader along with Alan Gregory and the others on a journey through thickets of uncertainty only to be mired in the muck of doubt. Remember the title.
Rape and all its attendant horrors, rape law and all its gruesome ambiguities, the problem of perception (think Gombrich's duck/rabbit) make this plot both complex and sadly timely.
