A story about a twenty-something tutor and the way her life intersects with the family of five she moves in with. Typical Shreve - relationshipy, set in the same house on the New England coast, sad in a somehow un-painful way, entertaining. A lot of twists in the plot - just when I thought I had things figured out, Shreve took us in a new direction. And yet it still ended pretty much how I thought it would. Always a nice break from the usual.
