Tom Perrotta's thirty-ish parents of young children are a
varied and surprising bunch. There's Todd, the handsome
stay-at-home dad dubbed "The Prom King" by the moms of the
playground; Sarah, a lapsed feminist with a bisexual past,
who seems to have stumbled into a traditional marriage;
Richard, Sarah's husband, who has found himself more and
more involved with a fantasy life on the internet than with
the flesh and blood in his own house; and Mary Ann, who
thinks she has it all figured out, down to scheduling a
weekly roll in the hay with her husband, every Tuesday at
9pm. They all raise their kids in the kind of sleepy
American suburb where nothing ever seems to happen-at least
until one eventful summer, when a convicted child molester
moves back to town, and two restless parents begin an affair
that goes further than either of them could have imagined.
Unexpectedly suspenseful, but written with all the fluency
and dark humor of Perrotta's previous novels, Little
Children exposes the adult dramas unfolding amidst the
swingsets and slides of an ordinary American playground.
