2009-01-02 This One Is Mine by Maria Semple - Los Angeles TimesMe, Im a sucker for any book that takes on the complications of modern marriage and parenthood, and Semple deftly portrays the deleterious effect an un-negotiated workload arrangement -- because he is the breadwinner, David expects Violet to take care of everything on the home front -- can have. She also beautifully renders the twists and turns an overburdened heart can take -- when David suspects the affair, he moves from ruthless retribution to tender forgiveness in a way that is unbelievably believable (especially considering there is a yoga retreat involved). Semple turns what could have been a by-the-numbers character into a contradictory and strangely compelling man right before our eyes. Maria Semples debut novel, "This One Is Mine," may be more memorable for the things it does not do than the things that it does. Although it is a Hollywood-ish novel (the protagonist is a former television writer, her husband a successful music industry player), there is not a lot of name-dropping or veiled references to quirky and troublesome public figures. - Arts books bk entertainment
