Shayne won't get out of the car. It's the summer of 1972 and the
whole family has come up to Grandpa Murphy's cottage for their
annual trip. Three generations are out on the property, swimming,
wandering through the forest, fixing up the clubhouse, getting
ready to sing around the fire, and having a lovely time. And Shayne
won't get out of the car.A novel in sixteen stories, East Grand
Lake is a lovely, thoughtful, warm-hearted tale of life at the lake
with a big family. Following the Murphy Clan from one evening to
the next, Tim Ryan captures the many tiny, important dramas that
occur simultaneously, sometimes invisibly, when everyone gets
together. A pair of brothers hunt frogs. The girl cousins make a
bid for supremacy. A boy is afraid of the end of the dock. Over one
sun-soaked day, the Murphy family wrestles with grief, aging,
betrayal, mental illness, and the many small fictions that occur
when people share their lives. Written with humour, compassion, and
authenticity, East Grand Lake welcomes readers into the complex
inner world of a large and loving family. This is a book for
everyone who misses or wishes for summer vacation.
