ARE WE OUR PARENTS?

Just finished reading Music for torching by A.M. Homes. I thought it read a bit like an updated, modern version of Revolutionary road. Quotes:

"She wonders why everything seems catastrophic, why she's always holding her breath, waiting for something to change her life."

""Am I supposed to ignore things?"
""Not ignore (...) But if you noticed less - if everything didn't mean so terrifically much - things would be better."
"That's all it takes?" Elaine asks.
"It's a start.""

Other books I've read these past two weeks:
Alice Munro - Too much happiness
Sue Miller - The senator's wife
Ola Hansson - Sensitiva amorosa
Ali Smith - The accidental
Caroline Ringskog Ferrada-Noli/Ida Säll - Skunk
A.M. Homes - The safety of objects
