Title: Quintessential family novel
Product review: This is one of the best novels ever to treat marriage, child rearing, dealing with eccentric aging parents, and a whole range of other intra- and inter-generational threads, with humane and literate humor. Worth reading just for the poignant description of a child's illness, all the mistakes that can be made, all the resilience a family can somehow locate. But Robb Forman Dew is also brilliant when it comes to exploring the effects of marital separation, family feuds, adolescent memories as they remain in high-relief in the psyche, the fragile wonder of adult friendships. Whenever I re-read this fine novel, I'm confident of receiving some new take on hopefulness.
