May We Be Forgiven A Novel

A brilliant novel with a series of hard-hitting satirical set pieces on a number of American institutions: marriage, family relationships, mental health care, justice system, penal system, education, politics, etc. The portrayal of the failings of these institutions would be considered outrageous in most western countries, but they are somehow apt in the case of the USA. This book is witty and mysterious, with suspense kept up from the very beginning to its end!
