I simply could not get into this. It was a story - perhaps a form of authorial wish fulfillment - about a 42 year old guy who marries a 17 year old girl who has become pregnant from her no-account boyfriend. I didn't get that far actually because I gave up on it around chapter seven. The story was immensely tedious and chronically boring and did nothing to draw me in, or to make me like a single one of the characters who were introduced. I very quickly lost interest in the characters, the setting, and whatever it was that the future held for these tedious people. I can't recommend it.
