Review title: Maybe a nice beach book--nothing more.
Product review: No, mchapman, I doubt Oprah will buy the rights to this book and make a movie---but maybe Jerry Springer will. This book has no literary value, reads like a voyeur's obsession with the sex lives of strangers. Strangers because Roslyn has not gotten to know the characters well enough to explain them to us. There is a lot here to work with, and Roslyn seems to have enough talent to give the characters some depth and connection with a reality greater than their incongruous surroundings. Maybe subsequent novels can develop each family more thoroughly.
