Cape Cod reads, part 2: The Other Side of You, by Salley Vickers (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2007). Another decent vacation read, but a bit slower-paced than I'd hoped. The story of London psychiatrist David McBride, whose entire life has been haunted by the childhood death of his older brother, killed while helping David cross the street. Enter Elizabeth Cruikshank, a new patient who recently attempted suicide. As David attempts to probe beneath Elizabeth's remarkable reserve, he uncovers a tale of star-crossed lovers and betrayal that leads him to question his own shaky marriage and career. Recommended, but not if you're looking for something totally brainless.
