Lily King's Father of the Rain
This story is told in three parts--the first, during the protagonist's childhood, where she's torn between her alcoholic father and activist mother during an acrimonious divorce, the second, when, as an adult, she tries to help her father sober up, and the third, many years after that, during the Obama election. I loved the first and last sections; the second was harder to read b/c you just wanted to give her a big ol' shake sometimes (but I guess that speaks to the effectiveness of the characters and story). Definitely recommended. A/A-.
