BOOK DESCRIPTION: Marooned in a loveless marriage and on the cusp of a
full-blown midlife crisis, Kay Sorensen hardly needs the additional grief of
tending to a dying parent. Tribulations compound however: as she frets over
her manipulative and fading mother, Ida, she must also reckon with her
father's indifference, her husband's insufficiencies, and--she fears--her
own squandered potential.
As Kay puts in her part-time hours paging at the local library, she ponders
her as-yet-undiscovered true calling and indulges fantasies of an affair.
It's almost a relief to be distracted from her immobilizing frustrations by
her mother's decline. Full of bitter and contentious self-pity, Ida trudges
downward gracelessly. Her death provokes ever-worsening pangs of self-doubt
in Kay, as she and her condemnatory father fumble to make sense of their
relationship. Kay is pushed toward both revelation and decision: "If you can
clean up the mess outside then maybe the mess inside will straighten out
too," she opines. It's the "maybe" that muddles her tidy formula.
