Guest's first book, Ordinary People (1976) was the basis of the 1980 film "Ordinary People" that won the Academy Award for Best Picture.
A very carefully constructed and somewhat Faulkneresque novel about a divorced attorney with a complex family who joins with a divorcee to help a youth from a broken family.
