The Forgotten Waltz by Anne Enright

I found this novel surprisingly light both in content and in its writing.  It follows Gina and Sean, both married, who embark on an affair which affects both their families.  It is difficult to get very interested in this book as the characters are not complex enough to be realistic. The plot is a tired, old plot and idea of rejuvenating it by telling it solely from Gina's viewpoint just doesn't work for me. This is of course better than your standard affair novel but does not live up to the writer's previous work.
