Title: Been there, done that.
Product review: After reading about 130 pages I began to feel like I had already read this. It reminds me a lot of The Corrections, though not as depressing or interesting...or good. The parents--the children and their individual perspectives and lives and then a lesbian affair. It's all been done before in The Corrections (and various other novels, come to think of it). It's boring, really. I didn't care for any of the characters, and even though I'm nearly finished with the book I still feel that they are two-dimensional. The Thea and Anne affair was so predictable--a sure sign of a mediocre book. I am only bothering because I have book group next Tuesday. I wouldn't bother if you really enjoy a well constructed novel.
