Publisher Description
A funny and moving debut novel that follows four generations of a singularly weird American family, all living under one roof, as each member confronts a moment of crisis in a narrative told through a uniquely quirky, charming, and unforgettable voice. Acclaimed short story writer Elizabeth Crane, well known to public radio listeners for her frequent and captivating contributions to WBEZ Chicago’s Writer’s Block Party, delivers a sublime, poignant, and often hilarious first novel, perfect for fans of Jessica Anya Blau’s The Summer of Naked Swim Parties and Heather O’Neill’s Lullabies for Little Criminals.
“Crane has a distinctive and eccentric voice that is consistent and riveting.” —New York Times Book Review
Customer Reviews
We only know so much
Couldn’t believe the one star review. Loved the book and all the characters and especially the writing. I think I’ve read this one twice. Maybe more. I’ve read all of Elizabeth cranes books and was looking for more when I saw this.
Excellent
An unusual, if somewhat "screwy" novel about a family, doing its best to cope with one another and with some unexpected events. Well worth the time and effort.
BORING!! PASS ON THIS ONE
I made it nearly halfway through before I had to give up on this book. It was about the most boring thing I’ve made an attempt to read in a long time. Characters that have no redeeming qualities whatsoever. There is nothing that makes you want to cheer for a single character in this book. Do not waste your time or money.
