     A. M. Homes' new book,  May We Be Forgiven,  is long, but worth the time. It's gotten mixed reviews, so I wonder if everybody read all the way to the end. (You kind of have to do that).  The title is from the Yom Kippur prayer - why will become apparent upon reading. Hapless Harold, who has always felt second-fiddle to his semi-sociopath baby brother George, ends up taking charge of George's family after he goes to prison. The real star of the book is George's son, Nate.
