A novel written in five voices: that of an alcoholic scientist, her ex-husband, in-law, and parent. The final voice, that of a third generation, lends hope to the equation. As well as the family disease of alcoholism, this novel includes themes of death and cancer, American economic decline in the late 1970's, shame and isolation, love and marriage, and coping mechanisms. The tone is black humor.
