By turns revolting and addictive, Sandi Tan's The Lurkers is a lurid read that keeps readers hooked. Told by a cast of unruly narrators, each ruled by a fatal flaw, the novel traces life in suburban California. From spiteful retired writer Raymond to Rosemary's young teenage lust to Mary Sue's unflappable spirit, there is such variety in this cast of misfits. Tan masterfully splays their lives, their motivations, their yearnings and secrets in moments of dramatic irony. Like the title suggests, these are the lurkers, the half shadowy lives lived under the shade of ignorance and bliss. An enjoyable read, especially if you like character driven novels!
