Surf’s up. I can hardly wait to hit the beach.

Janet Maslin of the NYT included The Gods of Greenwich in her summer beach reads, Books to Bury Yourself In.

Here’s a short excerpt:

Best Leeser family secret: Cy pays a colorist to go to his house “under the cover of dark” and make sure his little daughters stay blond. Best revenge against Cy: when his wife is feeling spiteful, she uses his $256-an-ounce Chateau Latour to make Bolognese sauce for the family dogs. Best Cusack family secret: Jimmy’s wife has prosopagnosia, an inability to remember facial features.

Enjoy your weekend!
