Only an Incident by Grace Denio Litchfield is a heart-stirring novel that delves into the complexities of love, loss, and the enduring power of human connections. Set against the backdrop of a small, close-knit community, the story follows the lives of several unforgettable characters whose paths intertwine through an unforeseen incident.

Litchfield masterfully weaves a tale that explores the unpredictable nature of fate and the profound impact one event can have on the lives of many. The narrative unfolds at a steady pace, drawing readers deeper into the lives of the characters, their secrets, and their shared experiences. The author skillfully navigates various perspectives, shining a light on the different facets of the incident, showcasing its ripple effect on each individual.

One of the book's strengths lies in its beautifully crafted characters. From the enigmatic protagonist who is haunted by his past to the confident, yet vulnerable young woman searching for answers, Litchfield breathes life into each individual, making them relatable and deeply human. The characters' struggles, triumphs, and personal growth are mesmerizing to witness, leaving readers both emotionally invested and introspective.

Through her characters' journeys, Litchfield explores the fragility of human connections and the profound impact of forgiveness on the road to healing. The novel emphasizes the importance of acknowledging our shared humanity and the potential for growth, even in the face of life-altering events.

While the narrative excels in character development and emotional depth, at times, the pacing feels somewhat slow. Certain plot points could have been explored further, allowing for a deeper understanding of the characters' motivations and internal conflicts. Nevertheless, this minor flaw does not detract from the overall impact of the story.
