Synopsis:
A darkly comic, tragic family epic centered on the Lamberts—Al and Enid and their three adult children—whose lives collide as the parents age and each child struggles with ambition, desire, and self-deception.
Set against late-20th-century American culture (consumerism, shifting morals, mental health fads, and economic boom-and-bust), the novel follows the family’s unraveling plans—especially Enid’s determination to gather everyone for one last “perfect” Christmas—while each character faces painful “corrections” to their illusions.
The story blends satire and realism to explore family obligation, love, shame, and the search for integrity and connection.
