The Wapshot Chronicle by John Cheever

This book follows the lives of the Wapshot family in a New England village.  I found it mostly interesting and entertaining, although it had some parts I didn't like. ("Now we come to the homosexual part of the story . . ."  What a strange narrative voice in the middle of the book!)  It does have some language and explores bisexuality, so be aware of that.  I prefer my books squeaky clean, even if it is a classic.  I would never take the time to read it again, but I'm glad I read it once.
