Highly reviewed, I was curious about this novel. It is the story of a random act of violence and the aftermath/repercussions to all involved: the victims, the witnesses, the police investigating the crime.
The story and its details branch out and reveal the most curious and intimate thoughts of the characters. The proliferation of TV crime and cop shows have made us (falsely) believe that we know 'what's up.'...we don't.
Lush Life provides a fresh and very real peep into the lives of others. The backdrop of the lower East Side in NYC is a character in itself. I found the book very compelling although a bit confusing in the constant switching between characters and plot-lines.
