I wish I could capslock the YES that the flaws of the characters were a main focus of this book because this book was messy and long and took place over I want to say 5-10 years. My copy had a foreword about learning to write after quitting being a lawyer. What followed was effectively a masterful collection of human thought, how someone is thinking about a situation, how many different thoughts we all have all happening at the same time in the same room, ricocheting from the things we take in. How separate from those thoughts the other people experiencing that same moment are and how incorrectly we judge what the other might be thinking.
