Strange, strange book. It takes place over the course of 8 hours. Kathleen, the wife spends the whole day in the swimming pool, refusing to get out. Virgil, the husband tries to persuade her to get out but she refuses so he goes golfing. During these eight hours, each one of them reflects individually on their life up until this point. Every other character worries about the dog that the Russians just sent up into space in Sputnik.
The book is only 144 pages long. Thank heavens, I don’t think I could have finished it if it were any longer. I’m not sure if there was a plot. I think there was a lot of imagery happening but I also think that it went over my head. I didn’t like either Kathleen or Virgil.
This was not a book for me. I do see varying reviews for it. I’m glad that other readers were able to get something out of it. I have to rate it 2 stars because I could not live with myself if I only gave it 1 star.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the Advance Readers Copy.
