Jeffrey Eugenides plus Jonathan Trooper minus the old A.M. Homes divided by John Steinbeck equals the new A.M. Homes (this book). Yes, she is still provocative and shocking, but in a wonderfully grown-up, mature way. She gives us Harold Silver, professor and Nixon scholar whose life hits a major pothole, veers off the road, and regains traction through the accumulation of a new, very dysfunctional family. Funny and deeply moving.
