A young newlywed named Madeline Maciver has a bike accident, and a reconfigured family rises from the wreckage in Jane Hamilton's marvelous new novel, When Madeline Was Young (Doubleday). After Madeline's husband remarries, he takes his now brain-damaged former wife into his home. The story is told through the eyes of young Mac Maciver, the son of Mrs. Maciver the second and now a doctor in the Midwest, who is raised to think of the childlike Madeline as his older sister.
