Bound by Antonya Nelson

Bound is full of moral dilemmas. The characters must face up to their responsibilities, from their own pets to friends, families and the world they live in. After learning of her high school best friend Misty's death, is Catherine Desplaines obliged to be the legal guardian to Misty's daughter Cattie? Also, how can Catherine's husband Oliver justify his adulteries by thinking that he doesn't purposely seek for it, but love just stumbles upon him like an "accident?" Tying in the apprehension of the BTK serial killer in Wichita a couple years ago, Nelson's new novel makes for a thought provoking read.
