"Out on Alaska's deserted Caribou Island, a marriage disintegrates faster than ever as Gary insists on building a ramshackle cabin without plans and Irene is weakened by terrible headaches. Their grown daughter, Rhoda, watches from the sidelines as she longs for a proposal from her boyfriend, though their marriage would be no happier. The bleak Alaska landscape makes for an appropriate backdrop to the miseries of their relationships; if you're asking yourself why you'd want to read such an unforgiving novel, it's for the landscape and the sad authenticity of the characters' unhappy lives."
