This is a fantastic book. I read it in one sitting. The only other book I've ever done that with is THE REMAINS OF THE DAY by Ishiguro. It's not just depressing. It's about . . . disgrace, in all its forms. I should add, for people who shy away from books that deal with social problems, or that seem too political, or that seem to be tracts--this novel is a STORY, first. Always a story. Things happen that tap into "issues," but this isn't an "issues" book the way, say, Toni Anderson's are.
