Beautifully written book about a bad marriage. Controlling husband, alcoholic mother, suffering children. Finished it for the great writing, not the content. Weird plot. Unbelievable, actually, that the mom would abandon her kids that way. And what about that guinea pig? Was the mom going crazy?
I really wanted to like this book because I like the author but it was choppy, I had trouble relating to the characters and the ending is horrible.
