Early Warning

 

Early Warning by Jane Smiley
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

We continue with the Langdon saga. The original Langdon children have all married and start having children of their own. The expanding family requires a bit more brain power to keep track of since it may be several years before we revisit some characters. Frank turns out to be a terrible father and his wife is actually worse. Lillian and Arthur seem like the dream family but no one escapes tragedy, though each experiences good things too. Don't expect any great drama--this is a story about the small dramedys of daily life. There is a nice twist at the end which keeps the story from being too monotonous.
