Title: Sobering Look At Divorce and Remarriage
Product review: None of the characters in this insightful novel of divorce and remarriage are likable. (Even small Tess is a bit of a simp.) Robinson has created a story where every character is selfish, myopic, and unsympathetic. Yes, human.Yet through these flawed characters, Robinson paints a disturbing and very accurate picture of the ravages of divorce, remarriage, step children, blended families and in-laws. Through her adept prose we navigate amid the tangle of recrimination, fault finding, self justification, betrayal, malice, and irony: divorce in today's society.This is a sobering book. The ending is too pat, too unlikely; but it is the only false step in an otherwise absorbing novel.
