...daily to reestablish the career he'd given up in order to help his wife nurture hers. As the primary parent, caring for the children often for weeks at a time, he maintains a breakneck schedule, juggling job interviews to attend class trips with his son, or escort his daughter on a playdate. He routinely number-crunches his shamefully inequitable child support payments in order to see to it that his kids are clothed, fed and, on good days, equipped with a GameBoy...
...Rings, Sosenko hasn't been able to enjoy himself much for the past several months. He hardly has the time or energy to play video games with his son Nick, 10. For the first time in recent memory, he has missed some of his 12-year-old daughter Teresa's afterschool volleyball games, though he still manages to take the kids to their classes at the Ukrainian cultural center on Saturdays. (The family speaks Ukrainian at home.) Sosenko has always been a bit moody. His office is littered with Tasmanian-devil toys given to him by his family, an inside...
...best stores deliver on those expectations. The ones that don't deliver foster a vague sense of unease and resentment. Store designer Richard Russo of Virginia's Hybridia Design cites J.C. Penney's "girl stuff" TV spot in which a hip young mom and her teenage daughter head off for a day of fun at Penney's.

...page 413. Brick Lane tells the story of Nazneen, born in a Bangladeshi village and sent to London in 1985 as the bride of Chanu, a much older man chosen by her father. In Britain, she lives the soporific life of an Asian housewife, raising two daughters (after a son dies in infancy) and attending to her undemanding, if uninspiring, husband. Years - and far too many pages - pass uneventfully before Nazneen shakes off her torpor to conduct an affair with a younger man slightly less feckless than her husband. Eventually, she dumps both men and strikes...
...teaching medical law at the University of Edinburgh. He's one of those insufferably gifted people who can dabble in this and that and do it all well, as can be seen in the professorially cluttered study in the Victorian flat he shares with his wife Elizabeth, their two daughters and a Tonkinese cat called Gordon. There are promo leaflets for the Italian translations of Mma Ramotswe, as his heroine is called according to Botswana etiquette; tomes on law and medicine; a report from Britain's Human Genetics Commission (he's vice chairman); dozens of his children's books...
