This book was about a young woman named Ridley Jones who winds up searching for her identity after she receives a manilla colored envolope in the mail with a picture of her in the paper rescuing this toddler and another of a small family. Allong with the pictures came a note asking 'Are you my Daughter?' Ridley was baffled because she thought that she already knew who her real parents were. When she talked to who she thought were her real parents at the time, they lied and told her that someone was just trying to play mind games with her. She belived them until, another envolope came in the mail with more pictuers of her and a woman who looked just like her, and a note that said 'they lied.' She was getting a little suspicious then, so she talked to her brother, Ace, about it and he told her to go talk to their dad about their Uncle Maxs' 'pet projects.' Uncle Max wasn't really their uncle, but their dads best friend who died about three months ago from a car accident. When Ridley talked to her father about it he told her what he knew about Uncle Max. Uncle Max was the founder of the Maxwell Alan Smiley Foundation, a non profit orginization comitted to the welfare of abused choldren and battered women. The foundation allowed women to abandon their children to safe houses, hospitals, police stations, and fire departments without fear of prosecution and with the knowledge that their cildren will be taken care of and put up for adoptin within 72 hours if the mother doesn't return to claim it. He said that he had no idea what Ace was talking about when he referred to Maxs' 'pet projects.' Ridley thanked her father for his help and went on her way. She decided to visit this new guy that moved into the same apartment complex. He knew about the pictues and notes she'd recived from their recent conversaitons, so he decided tok do some reaserch of his own and came up with a news article with some photos that she got in the mail. I like that it's not predictable and makes you think.

The character development in the book was great and I dare say every character held my fancy for some period of time, even if toward the end I wanted to crack Isabel over the head with one of her art vases, or some other heavy ornate object of decor lazying about Uncle Elliot's house. The bitch! Setting up Suzanne, the barely recovered opium junkie/alcoholic prostitute Larry was briefly engaged to, tempting her with fancy Russian vodka, booze drunk only by kings and queens and other sorts with regal titles! The little cunt! Setting Suzanne up knowing that while in the DTs, she could never say no to justifying a sip, which would never be just a sip and end up as a full blow out- leaving town (and Larry) drunk and likely stoned in the night to a Port of France in which she could slip away, back to her life of sailors, whiskey, wine, opium and numbness. Oh Isabel, such the turd, doing it just to keep Larry away from any other woman, knowing he would never be hers. Desperate to believe in Larry as celibate, while she goes about in her marriage to the kind and gentle, fat and red-faced, dull and worshipping Gray whose main purpose in life seems to be to make money in order to keep Isabel in haute couture dresses. At times the Eastern/Buddhist-oriented descriptions of India and Knowingness and One deterred me from reading and propelled me to sleep, which is fine, I like sleep, but for years now, when living people in the world or characters on film or in books begin discussing terms such as those mentioned above I sort of mentally check out. I think it may be a mixture of me being a bit of an idiot who tends to take things too literally as well as a passive desire to resist these topics, particularly the language, which I find clunky and self-righteous? So by the book's end, what had made Larry like-able: his quest, his quiet tragic history, his not-knowing nature had sort of de-materialized and what was left was this Eastern rhetoric talking empty shell. Which perhaps is the goal, and one can see my bias tends toward banged up, bruised and complicated shells holding messy, slimy, self-absorbed and confused creatures. Anyhow. I'm excited to see this movie, the one with BIll Murray as Larry! La la.
