I ended up loving this book so much even though I had a bit of trouble starting it. I appreciated the details that go into the characters lives, and I actually felt like I learned a lot from this one.
For future self: this is the one where the neurosurgeon sees a plane crash in the morning, goes to play squash and then gets into a car accident with thugs, the thug is stopped from beating him up by him pointing out that he has a neurological disorder, then going on with his day. Visits his mother, sees his son's blues band practice, goes to the fish monger, goes home, then other things happen, his wife, then his father in law, the poet, then the writer-daughter comes home and the family is attacked and it's the thug! He makes the daughter strip in the living room and recite poetry and everyone learns she is pregnant. Then somehow the thug and the surgeon go upstairs and then the thug is attacked by the son, falls down the stairs and has to go to hospital because he hits his head and cracks it up real bad. GUESS WHO THE NEUROSURGEON ON CALL IS!
