Query: A disappointing book with unlikable characters

By far one of the most nonsensical books I have ever read. The characters, while intensely detailed, are unrealistic and entirely unlikable. Ruth is an angry, convoluded woman who is only interesting as a child. Her relationship with Hannah is only slightly more unrealistic than the far-fetched love affair between Eddie and Marion. That we are to believe the "love" between a 16 year-old boy and a 39 year-old woman survived a 37 year estrangement is ridiculous. The only hihglight of the book is the tragic story of the two boys' accident. However, beginning Eddie and Marion's sexual encounters with Eddie's physical resemblence to Marion's dead sons is disturbingly unnecessary.
