We All Love the Beautiful Girls by Joanne Proulx

4.0

This was an emotional roller-coaster of a book about how quickly a comfortably off, loving family can fall apart when things go wrong. (Set in Ottawa, there was the added enjoyment for me of seeing familiar places and trying to place other locations.) Told from the point of view of both parents and the teenaged son, it brilliantly chronicles the love and the hurt and the anger that can consume a marriage, a friendship, a family. At times I couldn't put it down, at other times I desperately needed to take a break from the story. It's one of those books that is hard to stop thinking about once it is finished.
