 I could listen to Stockard Channing read the phonebook, thankful the book itself was also enjoyable. Lots of issues to discuss in this book: family secrets, racism, homophobia, transsexuality, immigration, and the holocaust. You would think there wouldn't be time for an actual story with all these underlying issues being woven through the story, but it was artfully accomplished by a varied cast of unique characters.
