A novel. "This is the story of the Berglunds, their son Joey, their daughter Jessica and their friend Richard Katz. It is about how we use and abuse our freedom; about the beginning and ending of love; teenage lust; the unexpectedness of adult life; why we compete with our friends; how we betray those closest to us; and why things almost never work out as they 'should'. It is a story about the human heart, and what it leads us to do to ourselves and to each other."

I waded through this, seven hundred pages and some, mildly interested. What impressed me most was not the characters or the story as such, but the changes in points of view and the different paces of telling it. This is a sign of a very skilful writer.

To be released.

1001-book.
