By Christina Baker Kline
Morrow, 343 pages, $24
Anovel involving a vanished and, of course, stunning young woman is hardly a new concept, but Christina Baker Kline artfully crafts this absorbing book, bringing equal insight to the characters of Kathryn, the protagonist, and Jennifer, the friend who disappeared 10 years before on the night of their high school graduation. Set in Bangor, Maine, the book evokes well the imposing Maine woods that surround the town. The title refers, in part, to a landscape-architecture term for “paths people create when they cut across the grass instead of taking a prescribed route.”
