The Middlesteins: A Novel
761 books to go!
The Middlesteins is about a Jewish family, the main character of the novel Edie is addicted to food. Her husband decides to leave her after many years of marriage and the family gets upset with his choice to leave Edie in her sickness. The novel mainly deals with the psychological aspects of an overweight relative who doesn't want to help themselves and the burden it puts on the family. Primarily I chose to read this book because I am dealing with the same kind of situation that the characters in the novel deal with when they interact with Edie. I understood where a few of the characters were coming from, what they were dealing with and why they made the choices they made. To me this novel was very fascinating a good psychological fiction.
