Synopsis
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

In this debut novel the diverse members of a dysfunctional family are all living in their own constricted mental worlds. We get to see their opportunities for interaction and transformation as their stories unfold. The narrator has a choppy style but I liked it. It won't win any awards but I enjoyed it.
