Joyce Carol Oates’ book begins in an explosive way. A girl Loretta finds the boy besides her in bed dead. There’s no doubt it was her brother who killed him. Then the rest of the book concentrates on her kids Maureen and Jules. Maureen goes through prostitution and has an affair. Jules also is questionable. The book ends with the character Jules participating in the race riots of the 60’s. I like Joyce Carol Oates stories more but this was all right. I’ll probably read the other books in the Wonderland Quartet.
