"The novel is about emotional crisis among family members. For instance, 20-year-olds don't know why marriage is necessary, 30-year-olds don't know why to have children, 40-year-olds don't know why to have more than one child. Planned parenthood, emotional breakdown, middle age crisis, old-age plans... all current issues can be found in the book"--Provided by vender.
