    About this ebook

    In the summer of 1976, during their annual retreat on Cape Cod, the McKotch family came apart. Now, twenty years after daughter Gwen was diagnosed with Turner's syndrome—a rare genetic condition that keeps her trapped forever in the body of a child—eminent scientist Frank McKotch is divorced from his pedigreed wife, Paulette. Eldest son Billy, a successful cardiologist, lives a life built on secrets and compromise. His brother Scott awakened from a pot-addled adolescence to a soul-killing job and a regrettable marriage. And Gwen—bright and accomplished but hermetic and emotionally aloof—spurns all social interaction until, well into her thirties, she falls in love for the first time. With compassion and almost painful astuteness, The Condition explores the power of family mythologies—the self-delusions, denials, and inescapable truths that forever bind fathers and mothers and siblings.

      Family drama. How a medical condition in one of the children, and a divorce, shape the history of a family. Well, and then there is the secretive nature of two of the children, and the uncommunicative nature of the father, and the mother's inability to face reality, and altogether, a compelling story with a happy and somewhat surprising ending. Perhaps the familiar setting accounts for my 4 stars. I do like it when I can actually visualize the places in the story--Concord, Truro, Kendall Square, The Harvest restaurant in Harvard Square, all places I've spent time.

      3.99 on my nook!

      I love how Haigh writes her characters. She gives them such rich personalities. This is really a story about a family that learns about all of their own conditions, not just Gwen. She may have the medical condition, but the rest have their own conditions that keep them from being able to be happy and live their lives well. I loved mrs Kimble and I really liked this one. I look forward to more by her.
    • 2/5
      I might have given this book three stars, but I am developing an aversion to books that invoke 9/11 a cheap emotional trigger.

    • 3/5
      An extraordinarily well written family story.
    • 3/5
      The opening chapter pulled me in, but there were several times I almost put it aside. However, there was enough smatterings of wit and really good writing to keep me interested.These people were just so unlikeable and incapable and/or unwilling to communicate with each other on the simplest of terms almost as if it was their goal to purposely stay out of each other's lives. I felt there was some kind of underlying air of superiority in characters who felt that detachment from their families, and in some cases their friends, was desirable.I knew nothing about Turner Syndrome but did feel the author handled it with respect and insight. That certainly wasn't the only "condition" in the book -- of course, I guess that's the point of the book.

      When I am in the mood for a light, easy read, I often turn to Laurie Colwin. She's one of my very favorite authors, both for her fiction (Happy All the Time/u>), and her nonfiction (Home Cooking). I like Beth Gutcheonfor the same reason. Her books, like Laurie Colwin's, don't require too much concentration, but neither do they make you embarrassed to tell your friends what you're reading. The Condition is a similar piece of work: a quick read (about a morning, for me), with a happy ending, and nothing too strenuous to think about. A great beach book, and not just because the beginning & ending take place at the Cape. Three-&-a-half stars.

      I fell in love with this quirky New England family. The author took me to the home of any family, with all of the faults, limitations, love, expectations, disappointments and discontent found within the human condition. While the story centers on the family struggle with Paulette, who has Turner'd Disease - a condition which causes a halt to normal maturity, each of the family members struggles with their own "conditions" which range from sexual choices, drugs, ADHD, fearfulness and distrust. As the family gathers for one last time in their previously owned cottage on the shore, I found myself cheering for all of them - please take the time to explore and embrace your own conditions - accept one another. I was quite sad when I turned the last page and it was over.
    • 4/5
      This story of a fragmented family is told through time and character. The "condition" refers to the daughter's Turner Syndrome -- she will always remain small and undeveloped. The family's relationships are undeveloped and immature, too. Throughout the book, I felt like shaking the characters and telling them just to talk to each other. And finally they did.
    • 4/5
      I didn't know much about Turner's Syndrome, but it's but a part of what makes this book interesting. Everyone has a "condition," and not necessarily an illness or disease. What an interesting story about love, betrayal, family and dyfunction.
    • 5/5
      Jennifer Haigh's novel "The Condition" is a wonderful story novel about the Drew-McKotch family and the various stages of the human condition that different family members find themselves in. Although each family member presents one front to the world, each has an inner self that plagues them, giving each family member a particular "condition" in most cases much more serious than the Turner's Syndrome that plagues the central character Gwen. Each member of the family comes to terms with their condition over the course of the novel, making for fascinating character development and excellent reading. Haigh is superb at capturing all of her characters, even though they are all very different people. She also manages to convince you that even though these are all people at very different places in life they are all from a central place, a single family, a single type of upbringing. Her use of each character as a narrator for sections of the book helps the reader to get inside each character's head and understand his/her actions. I will admit that the end of the novel does have a too perfect ending where all of the loose ends are very neatly tied up and all is mended. But, that being excused, the Condition is an excellent book. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a deep, well written, emotional novel this summer.
    • 4/5
      This is not the sort of book I usually read. I'm not a big one for dysfunctional family sagas. But this New England family was so beautifully depicted, so flawed and real, that I was lulled in and sad to leave them at the end of the book. That is not to say the characters were all pleasant, because Paulette, the mother who dominates the family with her resentment and clingyness, her suffocating love, and total lack of self awareness, was a difficult character for me. But Paulette was brought to life so vividly, and her love an antiques and collection of plate wear so perfect an interest for her, that she shone with a real light. And she was the character I empathized with the least! I really felt for Scott, his plight in his 30's felt very real to me. As did Bill with his reticence and the System he had developed, and Gwen, who had 'the condition' that so dominated the family history. All their situations, despite being nominally set around a fairly uncommon genetic condition that is uncovered in the youngest daughter, felt real and true. Haigh is gifted writer, I enjoyed spending time with her characters and I will look for more of her works.
    • 4/5
      At the beginning of this book, we meet a fairly normal-looking family starting their summer vacation at the family house on Cape Cod. At the end of the prologue, we get the inkling that something bad is going to happen to this family, and that very soon the summer house will be sold and the parents divorce.The story then jumps about 20 years, to a time when the children are adults, and whatever happened after that summer is old news. This is a perfectly good technique if the writer is more interested in showing the long term effects of something than the immediate impact.And it would have worked just fine in this case, except that the prologue was so short I wasn't able to develop any sympathy with the characters. Instead of getting the continuation of a story I was already invested in, I got a stub that wasn't enough to carry me though the rest of the book. But I persevered, and throughout the rest of the book, Haigh gives enough of the backstory for me to start to feel a little bit of sympathy, or at least to be a little bit interested in what happens to them.Overall, the writing is quite fine, but the story itself winds up being a bit disappointing.
    • 5/5
      This book is an excellent portrayal of a dysfunctional New England family. With a daughter suffering from Turner's Disease, a gay son, a son who can't seem to stay with any one thing for any length of time, a husband obsessed with his work in the lab, and the wife who is always striving for something more, this book offers wonderful insights into the lives of its characters.You feel with the daughter, Gwen, who, with her condition, will always have the body of a twelve-year old girl. You sympathize with Billy, the gay son, who is in his 30s before he tells his parents the truth about his love life.And there's Scott, the son needing to find his place in the world.You will be moved as you follow along with the family as years later they are finally able to understand one another and accept one another for all their quirks and faults.Highly recommended.
    • 5/5
      This is a family with more problems than just Gwen's "condition" and we are twisted and turned through all of them as the story works toward the growing up and apart and back together again of this family.
    • 5/5
      Great read...such a good character study. Shows you so eloquently how different family members can perceive events. I love this author!
    • 5/5
      Jennifer Haigh's first two novels were good; this book is excellent. The characters are developed thoroughly as individuals and as part of the family unit. The reader is able to observe the dynamics that contribute to their adult choices, their miinds and their hearts. They are seen as flawed, as vulnerable, as loving people. At the conclusion of this book, we know them very well. The book was obviously meticulously researched, and I learned a great deal along the way, which is always a good thing. The plot flowed seamlessly toward an ending that resolved any questions. Jennifer Haigh is an extremely gifted writer.
    • 4/5
      I really love Jennifer Haigh's writing. This is the second book I have read by her (Mrs. Kimble was the first) and I really enjoyed it. I love the way she ties everything up and leaves nothing hanging. She doesn't glorify her characters, most of them I don't even like. But, she does it well. I have one Haigh book left of hers, then I'll be all caught up. Sad.
    • 3/5
      The McKotch family is Dysfunctional, with a capital D. Frank is a brilliant but jealous and intensely competitive scientist, who neglects his family while worrying constantly about being named to the National Academy. Paulette is an overbearing mother, apparently unable to love her three children on their own terms. When the book opens, the children are not yet teenagers, and the family is taking their annual vacation on Cape Cod. During their trip, the couple notices that something is wrong with their daughter, Gwen, who, they realize, is much smaller and less developed than her cousin of the same age. She is diagnosed with Turner’s syndrome, and as a result will never go through puberty or physically develop. Paulette and Frank soon divorce, and the book jumps forward 20 years. Frank is still brilliant but overly competitive, and his difficulties are compounded by an infatuation he has with a female post-doc, which nearly ruins his career. Paulette is dealing with an infatuation of her own, involving a young laborer to whom she lends a sum of money, which he uses to leave town with his girlfriend. Gwen has buried herself in an entry-level job doing archiving in a archeological museum, staying on much longer than her peers. Her older brother Billy is a successful doctor who alienates his Indian lover because he’s unwilling to tell his family that he’s gay. And the younger McKotch son Scott, something of a loser who diagnoses himself as ADHD, is in a troubled marriage to a woman who ends up having an affair with her step-brother. Eventually Gwen goes on vacation to the Carribean, where she falls in love with a scuba-diving tour operator while on vacation, who may or may not be a drug dealer and who may or may not be using her to get a U.S. passport.Well, you get the idea. While the book is an easy and enjoyable red, it’s much too much of a soap opera for my tastes. I can’t understand how it got the strongly positive reviews that it did, e.g., from Janet Maslin in the NYT.
    • 5/5
      The book jacket will tell you that this is the story of a young woman with Turner syndrome. True enough, but this novel goes well beyond your typical Girl Overcomes Adversity plot. Gwen is but one member of the spectacularly uncommunicative McKotch family. Highly recommended.
    • 3/5
      An okay book, although it was worth the dollar I paid for it. The author did a great job at describing the emotions that would go with a family member's disease. Would only recommend to lovers of this particular genre.
    • 3/5
      I expected the title to refer to Turner's Syndrome which is the condition suffered by one of the characters and which is ostensibly the issue which drives the book. But I really felt like it more aptly applied to the condition of the family, which defines "dysfunctional." There is not a character in this book that is not battling their own issue, and battling it independently of the rest of the family. After an opening part which shows the family on the cusp of falling apart, the book skips forward 20 years but then looks back on those 20 years from the point of view of each of the five family members. I found it difficult to really connect with any of the characters because of this and because of the constantly jumping time frame. There is a lot to discuss in this book for book clubs. I was happy to see the Haigh showed growth in each of the characters and didn't try to wrap up all of the endings in a happily ever after fashion.
    • 3/5
      I was a bit disappointed by this novel, having thoroughly enjoyed Haigh's Mrs. Kimble. I just couldn't empathize with the characters and things seemed to drag on. Redeemed itself a bit at the end, but still, not as good or as captivating as I'd hoped.
    • 3/5
      This was a story about the human condition as told through the vehicle of a New England family and their individual struggles to find their way in life. One child has a medical condition, but it becomes clear that her condition is no more or less difficult to live with than making bad choices, being lonely, being a closeted gay man, or being perpetually detached from life. The characters and their lives are resoundingly real, but the plot was too predictable for my taste.
    • 4/5
      Very well written book.
    • 5/5
      Very very good book.
    • 4/5
      Gwen McKotch is diagnosed as a teen-ager with Turner's Syndrome, a condition that will forever leave her trapped in a child's body. This is the final straw for what has been an increasingly dysfunctional family, and her parents divorce soon after the diagnosis. In many ways Gwen is the most well-adjusted member of the family, and Jennifer Haigh explores with a sure voice the ways in which a family that was seemingly fragmented by a wrenching diagnosis can in some ways be resurrected when Gwen refuses to live her life in the ways that each family member has come to see as her role. A nicely told story with a conclusion that illuminates the power of the spirit over the weakness of the flesh.
    • 3/5
      I expected this novel to focus on the impact of Turner Syndrome on the family. But it was really about the various struggles in each person's life; everyone has their own "condition" to deal with. It's a decent read about family dynamics, but it didn't have the "hook" I'd hoped for.
    • 4/5
      I'm so glad this book ended the way it did! Beautifully written and great characters with lots of dimension. This would be a good book club book as I'm positive it would provoke lots of discussion.
    • 4/5
      The Condition is a sweet, easy to love story. It takes you to familiar problems you, me might have. The gay son, a daughter with a "condition." And my favorite the normal-pot head son. The crazy-mother Paulette, and the enchanting father, Frank. All these characters we already know, in some way or another. The beauty is in how uncensored they speak and what relieve it brings to us when we hear it.
    • 4/5
      A family of five, each with their problems, but all lacking communication skills. The Turner's diagnosis was not worse thing going on in the family as indicated in the front cover jacket of the book. I hated the mother's family and the mother which clouded how I felt about the book. The repressive, formerly rich family of the mother was beyond stereotypical in their view of the world beyond their family. The condition that tore this family apart was not the diagnosis of Turner, it was the desperation that each member of this family experienced since none of them had a good family experience to save them from themselves or their poor decisions.
