Await Your Reply by Dan Chaon
5.0

"What life will you choose for yourselves?" a father asks of his identical twin sons in Dan Chaon's Await Your Reply. An innocent enough question many parents have asked, but in the hands of Chaon the various answers to this question are the core of this suspenseful page-turner.

Three inter-locking story lines propel the reader from rural Wisconsin to the Arctic Circle to Peru as their characters alternately run away from and headlong toward the lives they think they have chosen for themselves. This book kept me up too late to finish and then even later to re-read it looking for clues I'd missed. I don't want to say too much more about this book, but if you like great characters and a stunning plot, you won't be disappointed. Wow.
