Description

Homes's fourth novel, Music for Torching, delves into the dark underbelly of suburban life, exposing the vile lives hidden behind neat lawns and bright facades. Paul and Elaine, seemingly conventional middle-class suburbanites, engage in a series of loveless orgies and extramarital affairs, while their neighbors lead double lives of their own. With a blend of funny-scary ironic tone, A.M. Homes paints a vivid picture of lurid misery and false fronts in this gripping narrative. Sorry! Book description for this title is not available.
