The Forgotten Waltz by Anne Enright

I hadn't read about this book but when I found it in the Library, I immediately took it out. I recall reading The Gathering by the same author and recall liking it. And, it won the Man Booker Prize a few years back.
So I was not at all disappointed in this new book by the same author. I read it in just a day and a half! It was short, but also very readable, interesting and full of interesting characters. The author got the reader involved and thinking about marriage, infidelity, and family. Even though most of the characters were not particularly sympathetic,  the story was quick-paced and kept the reader involved. And then there's Evie, the child who quite silently, inhabits every scene.
