The Memory Keeper's Daughter

Okay, pages 173-202 quick sum up. Page 173 starts in July 1977 when the kids are around 13 years of age. Basically, Dr. Henry, his wife, and his son are on a beach on vacation and Dr. Henry is filling up his days by taking pictures of his wife in different poses. Norah is sick of him acting like nothing has ever happened to their family and decides to cheat on him with a man she met while on vacation. Her son and Dr. Henry both discover this but neither say anything so Norah continues to do so while Dr. Henry and his son try to connect. It isn't working very well.

I learned the term terrazzo. Terrazzo is flooring material made of chips of marble or granite set in concrete and polished to give a smooth surface. Terrazzo is the type of floor they have in their condo while on vacation, and I must say, the pictures depict it as very nice, but I feel like it would be freezing cold.
