The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Empire Falls delivers his most intimate novel yet: "An astute portrait of a 30-year marriage, in all its promise and painโฆ. His honest, heartfelt storytellingโlike a cooling breeze off a certain New England shorelineโhas never felt fresher" (People).
For Griffin, all paths, all memories, converge at Cape Cod.ย The Cape is where he took his childhood summer vacations, where he and his wife, Joy, honeymooned, where they decided heโd leave his LA screenwriting job to become a college professor, and where they celebrated the marriage of their daughter Lauraโs best friend. But when their beloved Lauraโs wedding takes place a year later, Griffin is caught between chauffeuring his motherโs and fatherโs ashes in two urns and contending with Joy and her large, unruly family. Both he and she have also brought dates along. How in the world could this have happened?ย By turns hilarious, rueful, and uplifting, That Old Cape Magic is a profoundly involving novel about marriage, family, and all the other ties that bind.
Look for Richard Russo's new book, Somebody's Fool, coming soon.
