Summary (From the publisher):

The Whitelaw patriarch, Sunny Jim, exerts his perverse control even in death, by means of a will that binds the family fortune to a marriage that ought to be rent asunder. The charms of this particular son-in-law, lately released from prison, are potent, especially as regards his estranged wife.

Edition Details:

Language: English

Blurbs:

"Novelist and essay-writer McGuane assembles a large cast for a small but satisfying story...These awfully stretched story lines wander perilously close to Florida baroque, but McGuane always knows when to back off...Exhilarating: like a good run in bad weather." Kirkus Reviews
"On the surface, McGuane's prose is all moral unflappability, but underneath there's clearly a nostalgia for a less self-indulgent culture, one in which people kept to their (preferably stoic) codes." Publishers Weekly
"Peopled with quirky, humorous, and sometimes downright dangerous characters, this novel is absorbing, meaningful, and brilliantly written." Library Journal
