Description
On his way to a wedding on Cape Cod, Griffin Griffin carries an urn containing his father’s ashes—and the unresolved tensions of a lifetime. Surrounded by family rituals, old grievances, and the polished posturing of the privileged, he is forced to reckon with his parents’ legacy and his own uncertain place within it. With wry humor and penetrating insight, the novel explores marriage, memory, class, aging, and the complicated bonds between parents and children. It is a sharply observed, darkly comic portrait of a man attempting to make peace with the past before it defines his future.
