Game of Secrets: A Novel ReviewIn a time frame that moves between a father's disappearance in 1957 New England, the early 1960s and 2004, Tripp's tale is a magical blend of past and present, a drama begun of the infidelity of Luce Weld and the fiery Ada Varick, the seeds of their affair bearing fruit long after Luce's disappearance, his young daughter, Jane, watching hopefully for a father who never returns. In the 1960s, an excavation yields a skull pierced by a bullet, common rumor that this may be the fate of Luce Weld. It is seductively personal, this novel, fragments of poetry and genius, TS Eliot, Ingmar Bergman and the scattered letter tiles of a Scrabble game forming the language of family dysfunction, the vague resentments of a rebellious daughter and the weighted relationships of Jane Weld and the infamous Ada Varick. When Marne returns to the New England of her childhood, it is to a still difficult relationship with an enigmatic Jane, a mother with secrets, the tangled threads of the past as insubstantial as the Scrabble game played weekly by Ada Varick and the grown daughter of the man she loved indiscriminately.
All is revealed in this exquisitely-penned novel, random Scrabble tiles hinting of revelation, a winding down of transient hostilities and the healing attraction between a reluctant Marne and Ada's son, Ray. Tripp waves her wand over the past, discontent ameliorated by real intimacy, irresistible prose illuminating moments both fragile and tragic: "We have to go on loving what we love, knowing we will lose it." Resolution is experienced in pairs, Ada and Jane over a game board across a picnic table, Marne and Ray, Carleton and Jane's affection, Marne's paper origami flock symbolizing the elasticity of hope. Whatever was broken by Luce's obstinate passion has mended, if in unpredictable ways, the ties of fate and forgiveness inextricably woven. Tripp is a trickster, a pied piper strewing images like breadcrumbs, characters who embrace moments of absolute clarity, the unfathomable nature of "home", language that resonates in the secret landscape of the soul. Luan Gaines/2011.
