Product description from amazon.co.uk:
When Audrey makes a devastating discovery about her husband, New York radical lawyer Joel Litvinoff, she is forced to re-examine everything she thought she knew about their forty-year marriage. Joel's children will have to deal with this unsettling secret themselves, but meanwhile, they are trying to cope with their own dilemmas. Rosa, beautiful, disillusioned revolutionary, is grappling with a new-found attachment to Orthodox Judaism. Unhappily married Karla is falling in love with an unlikely suitor at the hospital where she works. Adopted brother Lenny is back on drugs again.
In the course of battling their own demons and each other, every member of the family is called upon to decide what - if anything - they still believe in.

Tomorrow at the OBCZ.
Picked up at the OBCZ this afternoon. Thanks, klaradyn.
I remember it took me a while at the OBCZ to decide to take this book. I'm glad I eventually did.
Zoë Heller's writing is real and entertaining. She definitely captures something of the times we live in with this story.
Somewhere on Mount TBR I have Notes on a Scandal as well. I look forward to reading it.
Shortlist: IMPAC Dublin Literary Award 2010.
