Description
Dearly Departed by Elinor Lipman is a comedy of manners that weaves together unexpected threads. When Sunny Batten hears about her mother's sudden death, she expects things to go downhill. But the news comes with an unusual twist: her cranky informant is revealed to be the son of the man who died alongside Margaret, and they were engaged to be married. As Sunny and Fletcher take their places at the funeral, the sleepy town of King George becomes a stage for gossip and intrigue. The mourners' identical grey hair sparks curiosity - mere coincidence or shared DNA? With its vivid portrayal of small-town life and a cast of unwittingly hilarious characters, this book will leave you laughing and maybe even tear up. With its unique blend of humor and pathos, Dearly Departed is a story that will keep you turning the pages.
