This novel provides a chilling look into the marriage of Gil and Irene, two damaged people who are bound inexorably together through their secrets and manipulations of each other. The children of this dysfunctional marriage are, as children always are, the ultimate victims of their complicated, tortured relationship. Irene and Gil are separately despicable, and together are more so as they feed each other's insecurities and neuroses. The ending is a masterful, albeit haunting, touch by Erdrich.
