Finally finishing the reading of this four hundreds something pages novel.
This is a totally heart-broken, beautiful written story.
I thought it was a sad story, but it was a tragedy.
The story uncovered the real world of US suburb families after the Second World War. Precisely, it uncovered the problems of human-being - our selfishness, the weakness of love, the weakness of family.
Frank and April, the two main characters in the story are suffocated by the peacefulness of daily life. They tortured each others because they are lost and confused. Human being is fragile.
What was the problem of suburbanization? I learnt this concept in geography text-book. It explains how relatively well-off people moved to the fringe of cities to have a better and more spacious living environment. Apparently, the real world is more complicated.
A heavy story.
