Book Review of Standard Deviation: A novel

Standard Deviation: A novel
debbiemd avatar reviewed on


Quirky and sweet. Sad and uplifting. I loved all the characters. Graham and Audra and Elspeth. Graham was married to Elspeth for 8 years. He had an affair with Audra and then married her. They have a son who has aspbergers. Told from the viewpoint of Graham and his conflicting feelings at times for Elspeth and Audra. Audra is the love of his life, but sometimes you sense the exasperation and frustration with her. And he loves his son but also wishes he was more "normal." You feel all the emotions of marriage and parenthood. I liked Graham's narration - witty, amusing. Good book and would read this author again.
