Disclaimer: I read this for a book club, i.e., I was forced to read it. I normally stay clear of the "family gathering after the death of a loved one" genre, and found this book to be a typical example, with the added embellishment of a different set of [g-rated edit] in every chapter. Plus, I'm tire of the gag where the writer goes over and over an event while slowly revealing the true facts. The ending was strong, I'll admit, and the writing was good -- good enough, and focused enough, that I think this author may be an accomplished short-story writer.
