We're all friends here, right? OK. I'll be honest. This book wasn't as trashy as I hoped it would be. I mean, the jacket description includes such tantalizing lines as: "Everyone looks forward to a respite from Manhattan but each privately anticipates something more."
Right.
It was neither as trashy as it should have been, given that description, nor as high-brow as it tried to be. The cover blurb from Michael Cunningham called it "A novel of haunting beauty and almost terrifyingly acute perceptions." This cover blurb has caused me to reevaluate my feelings about Mr. Cunningham.
