A family about to go down in flames,

This review is from: Crooked Hearts (Paperback)
This novel is about the disintegration of a family, a fairly disfunctional one at that. The father is a weak man and the oldest son hates him for that; the mother sees only the good in everything; the other three children try to hold things together. When I first read this when it first came out, I was very moved by it. Reading it a second time now I find much of the action just wasted energy. The book is poignant and sad in spots, but just too crazy and chaotic for me now.
