I usually enjoy Sue Miller's novels, but this one had an appalling theme. I'm amazed that only one reviewer found the abuse of Daisy to be just that, not "seduction" or an "affair" but a crime, and one in which the criminal isn't punished or even embarrassed. The descriptions of the "collateral damage" of divorce were well done,but, as many reviewers have pointed out, the ending failed. The adults in Daisy's life failed her, especially the father who suspects that she has been abused but never confronts the abuser. I had hoped that the ending would find Duncan in prison!
