From the Bookshelf of Tyler Public Library…

[close] Omg, I loved this book. It is the perfect story of an imperfect family of four siblings who share a family trust fund, nicked-named "The Nest". Sweet & comically tragic, this is a family that grows on you slowly, but one that you will recognize and root for. The Nest is full of witty and snarky remarks like this one: “ She’d been hiding in a corner of Celia’s enormous living room, pretending to examine the bookshelves, which were full of what she thought of as “fake” books---the books were real enough, but if Celia Baxter had read Thomas Pynchon or Samuel Beckett or even -- any!-- of the Philip Roths and Saul Bellows lined in a row, she’d eat her mittens.” A perfectly wonderful, laugh-out- loud book. Highly recommended!
