(2) YA Nancy and Andrew are best friends, siblings who count on each other for companionship and support in their agreeably idiosyncratic family. In contrast, Sandra Wilkins's prissy mother is obsessed with perfection, and Amy and Clare enjoy a creatively untidy life with their single mother. Set near Ottawa in the 1950s, Wallace's novel is a thought-provoking look at family dynamics in any era, as well as a fast, funny, and enjoyable read.
