Starts with Californian historical background about a father, 2 daughters, Anna and Claire, and orphan- Coop; gains momentum to an extremely drastic storm both outside and within a cabin. Great story so far. I was provoked by the father's action in how he dealt with Anna (tragic!). The story then goes into Coops casino life. I thought about buying this book for my dad who loves cards and gambling. An engaging read but the story ends with Coop getting brain damage from a bad beating- then: THE END. The book carries on with a completely different story altogether about Anna's life in France and a book review she's writing about some man long dead. BORING; no cohesiveness to this story-very disappointing.
