Title: What did I miss?
Product review: A group of Brits must have gotten together somewhere, knocked back a few gin and tonics and nominated Talking to the Dead for the Orange Prize. The judges who voted for it were already drunk. This has to be one of the most disappointing novels I've read in the last two years. It is a soap opera of lousy writing with an ending as predictable as it is awful. If you want to read a TERRIFIC book about the struggles between siblings, read BLUE River by the most talented Ethan Canin.
