I really enjoyed this book (and equally the movie which I saw as I was finishing the book); it was very sad because no one wants to be witness to a failing marriage and as that's what we are as readers, witnesses - or voyeurs -- seeing things that only take place behind closed doors idyllic houses in idyllic settings. Maybe that was one of Yate's many themes -- it's all an illusion --the house the lawn, the kids, the perfect couple in the suburbs. Some people can close their eyes, withdraw themselves from reality and submerge themselves in this illusion. The Wheeler's -- at least April - couldn't. And she tried to get them out. I don't believe the "suburbs" is the cause for all their problems - I think if they lived anywhere they would have the same problems. April & Frank were not a compatible couple. But leaving was a solution and for the most part it lifted their spirits and improved their outlook on life so much so that Frank turned into what he should have been all along -- a man with a purpose. The minute the idea of getting out was cast upon him, he did more than just sit around and shuffle papers but actually worked, and got noticed by the bosses. Why leave now? April had a lot more sense than Frank, she was someone who wanted to make something happen regardless of money or kids, but she was a 1950's wife -- the part where she tells Frank how wonderful he was because he was "a man" killed me. She was strong, but only strong enough as her surroundings let her be. I felt for April because she wanted more but was powerless, if Frank was unhappy he had no one to blame for himself because he could do whatever he wanted (and in some cases -- Maureen -- he did).
