For Griffin, all paths, all memories, converge at Cape Cod.┬а The Cape is where he took his childhood summer vacations, where he and his wife, Joy, honeymooned, where they decided heтАЩd leave his LA screenwriting job to become a college professor, and where they celebrated the marriage of their daughter LauraтАЩs best friend. But when their beloved LauraтАЩs wedding takes place a year later, Griffin is caught between chauffeuring his motherтАЩs and fatherтАЩs 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?┬аBy 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.
