May We Be Forgiven by A.M. Homes

Jeffrey Eugenides plus Jonathan Trooper minus the old A.M. Homes divided by John Steinbeck equals the new A.M. Homes (this book). Yes, she is still provocative and shocking, but in a wonderfully grown-up, mature way. She gives us Harold Silver, professor and Nixon scholar whose life hits a major pothole, veers off the road, and regains traction through the accumulation of a new, very dysfunctional family. Funny and deeply moving.
