When Henry, the 17-year-old son in a happy family, accesses his mother's e-mail, he discovers that she is having an affair. Ten years later, he tries to untangle the web of events that the discovery precipitates. A New York Times Notable Book for the year 2000.
I like most of Jane Hamilton's book, but this one was kind of a stretch for me because I think it was a stretch for her. I think she ran out of material and had to think of far out characters and a strange story line. The point of view in the story does not stay int he voice and age range that it should and is borderline creepy.
