I wish their relationship had been better explained why did Leah lock up the desk and tease her father with it? Like I said, not quite satisfying. Only seeing the dream, never the daughter. The expectation of a life from out of magazines and movies. I found that the way Weitz treats Leah reminded me of the way the father treats the daughter in Ng’s Everything I Never Told you. Why was Nadia addressing a judge? What was with the angry old man and his disaffected son Dov? I just couldn’t see the connection there. Plus I found a few of the narratives just plain baffling. There was some of that here, but not enough. Unseen connections are revealed to our joy and amazement. Books about how a single object or location tie people and situations together can be fascinating. As much as I liked a lot about this book, it just didn’t cohere in a way that I found satisfying.
