Title: A dark look at suburban life
Review: MUSIC FOR TORCHING is a wickedly funny look at the dark side of suburban life. With the characters she first intoduced in her short story collection, THE SAFETY OF OBJECTS, A.M. Homes gives us a sly, witty page-turner, an in depth look at life in Westchester, where all is not what it seems, and a look into the crumbling marriage of Paul and Elaine Weiss. Had the 1999 film AMERICAN BEAUTY been a novel first, this very well might have been the novel the film was based on.
