The Position by Meg Wolitzer
5.0
Love, love, love.
This is less a book about sex than family--family over time. About how our adult selves are shaped both directly by and in reaction to our families; about how our sibling interactions become different as adults, but the baggage of childhood remains, informing those adult interactions. About individuals creating their own families in reaction to their family of origin, which was in itself a reaction to what came before--a generational Hegelian dialectic which may never reach synthesis.
