2010 book 163

Emily St. John Mandel's Last Night in Montreal
When a young woman--who was abducted by her father when she was seven and spent her life on the road--leaves her grad student boyfriend, a mysterious postcard sends him to Montreal, where he hopes to find her and make sure she's ok. Gradually her complicated history unfolds, leading up to an unexpectedly dark conclusion. Very well-written, though I didn't feel like I knew any of the characters. A-/B+.
