Mermaids in the Basement by Michael Lee West

Icky. This book is a "love gone wrong" story. I guess that's a nice way to say it's about adultery, because that's what it was about. It jumped from one narrator to another as a woman -faced with her lover's apparent betrayal- goes to her home and have the details of her mother's sordid past filled in by various people who knew her.
On what planet does grandma have a friend who had sex with your dad (while he was married to your mom) and then describes to you what they did in detail? Ick. I hate feeling like I need to dip my brain in hot water (while others need to dip other body parts in intensive anti-bacterials to keep from sharing social diseases with their general acquaintance.)
And as a side note to the author: Mormons don't get more than one woman at a time, either, and we don't find that stereotype particularly amusing.
