Title: what has happened to a fine novelist?
Review: I am 2/3 through this book and doubt that I can finish it. I simply don't care. The plot is trite, the dialog isn't really dialog at all but something more akin to school essays, and Gilchrist seems to keep forgetting who the characters are. How can the daughter be a successful decorator and a whiney neurotic who doesn't seem she would be able to even hold a job above a menial level at the same time? Is Robert honest or is he not? Every time a character is reintroduced, it seems he or she has changed into someone else. What has happened to Gilchrist? This is really poor stuff.
