2009 book 45

Jayne Anne Phillips' Lark and Termite
I've never read a book by Jayne Anne Phillips before--I think I was mixing her up w/ Jayne Anne Krentz, and assumed the books would be schlocky. Luckily, I read a good review of this novel, which focuses on a girl and her disabled brother in the 1950s, interspersing their stories with that of his father, a soldier in Korea. Anyway, I liked it a lot, and am sorry for ignoring Phillips' novels all these years! A-.
