This was a strange book recommended to me by my favorite yoga instructor. Basically it answers the following questions:
What would people do if a bunch of the population vanished without explanation (rapture-like)? How would they explain the phenomenon? How would it change them?
I related it to myself through grieving. How Bryan's death has changed me. But you could simply look at it as being a sudden traumatizing event and how it changes the structure of a family, the relationships between people, and maybe even a country's culture. (pre- and post- 9/11 America--for example)
It wasn't one of my favorite books--though the premise is interesting. The ending of this one was right on.
