searing portrait of marriage and family life

The author has written a searing portrait of marriage and family life. As Reynolds Price suggests, this book should be required reading before obtaining a marriage license. Naumoff deftly traces the decomposition of two long term marriages and the seeds it lays in the marriage of the adult children. Dark comedy but illuminating in the ways that cruelty, unkindness and alienation can settle into marriages.
