Author: Tom Perrotta
Format: Paperback
Number of Pages: 368
Bestselling New York Times author Tom Perrotta - his previous novel ELECTION was made into a film starring Reece Witherspoon and Matthew Broderick - has created a darkly comic and satirical novel about parents. Tom Perrotta's thirty-ish parents of young children are a varied bunch. There's Todd, the handsome stay-at-home dad dubbed 'The Prom King' by the mums of the playground; Sarah, a lapsed feminist with a bisexual past, who seems to have stumbled into a traditional marriage; Richard, Sarah's husband, who has found himself more and more involved with a fantasy life on the internet than with the flesh and blood in his own house; and Mary Ann, who thinks she has it all figured out down to scheduling a weekly roll in the hay with her husband, every Tuesday at 9 pm. They all raise their kids in the kind of sleepy suburb where nothing ever seems to happen - at least until one eventful summer, when a convicted child molester moves back to town, and two restless parents begin an affair that goes further than either of them could have imagined. 'Damn if I didn't find myself wishing I'd written it' Dennis Lehane, author of Mystic River.
