jenny mcphee's no ordinary matter
i saw a positive review of this somewhere-or-other, so picked it up today while killing time at bull's head. it's basically the story of two sisters, lillian and veronica, and how they start to make sense of their somewhat bizarre family life. lillian, a seemingly cold neurologist, gets herself pregnant by an out-of-work actor (without informing him), who soon becomes a character on the soap opera for which veronica writes. veronica begins an affair with the guy, and at the same time the sisters decide to hire a private detective to find out if their dead father had a second, secret family. lillian's pregnancy, veronica's secret affair, and the private eye's findings all lead to a pretty neat series of twists and turns, none of which i was expecting. it's kind of a light read, but definitely enjoyable and surprising.
anyway, i read it in one sitting, so obviously i was engaged.
