A Widow For One Year is quintessential John Irving - all the elements are there. You've got your dysfunctional family, introspective narrators, some kinky sexy stuff, and a bit of the ultra violence to shake things up. Yet, somehow, this story didn't grab me the way Garp and Owen Meany did. I dunno, I didn't really like any of the characters I guess. That said, it is well written. The plot moves along nicely. Lots of other people liked it. Maybe you will too.

I'm sending this book to rblake in Canada. Here's hoping she enjoys it!
