'OUR FAVOURITE READS OF 2016' THE TIMES | A NEW YORK TIMES
BESTSELLER 'A BOOK THAT HAS YOU EMAILING FRIENDS "YOU HAVE TO READ
THIS"' The Sunday Times - 'A WARM AND POIGNANT MEMOIR' Daily
Express - 'WITHOUT A DOUBT MY FAVOURITE BOOK OF THE YEAR' Nathan
Lane, Wall Street Journal Signed by Paramount for TV starring
Oscar-winner Shirley MacLaine & Tony-winner Matthew Broderick A
witty, tender memoir of a son's journey home to care for his
irascible mother with dementia - a tale of secrets, silences, and
enduring love. When George Hodgman leaves Manhattan for his
hometown of Paris, Missouri, he finds himself-an unlikely caretaker
and near-lethal cook-in a head-on collision with his ageing mother,
Betty, a woman of wit and will. Will George lure her into assisted
living? When hell freezes over. He can't bring himself to force her
from the home both treasure-the place where his father's voice
lingers, the scene of shared jokes, skirmishes, and, behind the
dusty antiques, a rarely acknowledged conflict: Betty, who speaks
her mind but cannot quite reveal her heart, has never really
accepted the fact that her son is gay. As these two unforgettable
characters try to bring their different worlds together, Hodgman
reveals the challenges of Betty's life and his own struggle for
self-respect, moving readers from their small town-crumbling but
still colourful-to the star-studded corridors of Vanity Fair.
Evocative of The End of Your Life Book Club and The Tender Bar,
Hodgman's New York Times bestselling debut is both an indelible
portrait of a family and an exquisitely told tale of a prodigal
son's return.
