Description

Author of 27 novels, Joyce Carol Oates has won a National Book Award and the PEN/Malamud Award. She has been nominated for the PEN/Faulkner Award and the Pulitzer Prize. Readers around the world marvel at her ability to trace the subtle dynamics at work in the modern American family.

Judd is the youngest of the four Mulvaney children - three boys and a girl - on their parents’ lush farm in upstate New York. In his childhood, Judd is swept along by the sheer energy of the Mulvaneys and their wealth of beloved family stories. But now, 30 years old, Judd looks back through his memories to tell the secrets that eventually ripped apart the fabric of his storybook family.

Reminiscent of the works of Jane Smiley and Anne Tyler, Oates’ novel tells a tale that could be tragic, but is, instead, a ringing affirmation. Narrator Scott Shina’s performance perfectly captures the complex relationships within the Mulvaney clan.

Great story - with problems

I loved the story and the characters. Oates develops the characters very well in my mind. The storyline is excellent, but leading up to "it", I found myself getting extremely annoyed at the length of time it takes to actually reach what is obviously going to happen.
I also hated the southern accents that the narrater incorporates for the Mulvaney parents. Not sure why he thought that made sense. At first I was waiting for some twist in the story that would explain the accents, but clearly it was just a massive problem in narration.
Overall, great story with some serious problems that I did manage to overcome. Glad I made it to the end.
