About this listen

Kate and Albert, sister and brother, have grown up on a secluded communal farm. Now their home is disintegrating, taking their parents' marriage with it. Ignoring their attempts to escape, Don - father of the family, leader, and maker of elaborate speeches - sets to work on reunifying the commune. But to bring it into the modern age, he’ll need self-sufficiency, charisma, and a rave with a 10k soundsystem....

A lot of detail and a lot of people doing this and that but was left wondering why.

Sex scenes seemed shoe - horned in (as it were) for no particular reason.

I liked the part of the book which described how the commune got going - but ended up feeling irritated.

Too much and not enough-good start fizzled out.
