Coming of age on Martha's Vineyard, he struggles to find his place within his wildly wealthy, hyper-articulate, resolutely crazy Irish-Catholic family: a philandering father, incorrigible brother, pigeon-racing uncle, radical activist mother, and domineering media mogul grandfather (accused of being a murderer by Collie's mother). It is a world where chaos is exhilaratingly constant, where money is of no object. And yet it is a world where the things Collie wants-understanding, stability, a sense of belonging-cannot be bought for any price. Through his travails, we realize what it really means to grow up and also to grow into one's family: finding ways to see them anew, to forgive them, and to be forgiven in turn.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn prose that is lively, humorous, and brilliant throughout, Elizabeth Kelly gives us the dysfunctional-family novel to end all dysfunctional-family novels, finding the comedy and pathos in her characters' struggles, and showing beautifully how a family's love can be as trying as it is true.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUSED BOOK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e336 pages, Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst published March 2, 2009\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brewberry Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43350582362206,"sku":"9780307396952","price":12.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/0585\/9678\/files\/4666400.jpg?v=1789696024","url":"https:\/\/www.brewberrybooks.ca\/products\/apologize-apologize-elizabeth-kelly","provider":"Brewberry Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
