SHARI LAPENA
“Harold was afraid of the dead. They were unpredictable.” These lines would have made an excellent start to this comic novel but actually they are from the middle. A funny look at life, death and in between. An ironic view of middle class family life: wife, husband, two children.
Harold is suffering from a mid-life depression, brought on in part by the death of his one-time best friend. His wife Audrey is trying to hold the family together while Harold escapes and their boys suffer teenage angst. Doesn’t sound funny but it is.
