  `[Shriver's] best novel yet' INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY

  Pandora has looked up to her older brother Edison
  since they were children. Now she revels in the anonymity
  of her suburban Iowa life, while her brother basks in the
  limelight as a New York jazz musician. But when Edison
  arrives in Iowa, suddenly in need of a place to stay, Pandora
  literally doesn't recognize him. The once slim, hip pianist
  has gained hundreds of pounds. What happened?

  Soon Edison's appalling diet and know-it-all monologues
  are driving Pandora and her husband Fletcher insane.
  And it's only a matter of time before Fletcher delivers
  his wife an ultimatum, it's him or me.

  With Shriver's distinctive wit and ferocious energy,
  Big Brother not only examines why we overeat, but asks
  more pressingly still: just how much should you sacrifice
  for someone who refuses to be saved?
