Repercussions

Schneider tenderly evokes at once the slow decay of marriages and parent-child relationships and the long half-lives of passion and family history; he subtly demonstrates the way trust is eroded by secrecy and how the seed of love can generate love, even across decades. A thoughtful look back at one of the great movements for social and political change of the last century and its ramifications in the present through the life of one man. —Kirkus Reviews
