How many times can you say it's raining? For several paragraphs?How many pages do you need to say that Winter is Back again and again and again and it's foggy, and now the son is 2 and now he's 3 and now he's....you get the idea.In a book of total boredom of trivial detail, we have a page here and there of a story of Our Heroes' father impregnating the daughter of a friend and other unpleasantness as THE explanation of why their mother and their families are a falling apart.I rarely throw books out, but this one went to recycling. I hope the new paper gets a better story printed on it.
