Grist Mill Road by Chistopher J. Yates

Not charting any new ground, GMR documents a childhood trauma experienced by three children and the repercussions of such on their lives in the decades that follow.  The story explores and exploits the games that memory and perspective can have on events as they retreat into the past, and how motivations and syllogism can intertwine and overlap to distort reality.  This book was not particularly well-written, though I have no specific criticism of the writing.  The story was not particularly good, though I can't point to a fatal flaw.  The characters were not especially compelling, though I can't say exactly why they did not land.  All in all, not much to complain about here, but not much to recommend either.
