The Infinities by John Banville

I picked up The Infinities for a couple reasons: first, it might serve as a read-aloud or optional reading next year and second, I wanted to read something recreational dangit. In short, the story is set in an English manor house where the patriarch, a famous mathematician, lays dying. The wife and adult children deal with the implications, etc, while Hermes looks on (narrating) and Zeus pursues the oldest son's wife.

I'm about a quarter of the way through and... Well, there's some NSFW material. Nothing explicit, but let's face it. It's Zeus. :\ So, not a read-aloud. It's also very, very British. A lot of internal meanderings, slower pace, etc. As I read, I imagine the Masterpiece Theater rendering on PBS.
