        THERE IS VERY little storyline at all to Jennifer Lash's novel, "From May To October."  But the largely uneventful account of six months in the life of a family that cannot pay its way is lovingly observed.  Characters, dialogue, seasonal colour and small incidents have the authority of real life, suggesting that the author is perhaps writing from experience and may in the future use the material of this gently little book for something grander and stronger.
