pick#stepsibs #spinster Pappy is a singer , Mamma is a dancer. Both had kids from earlier relationships. Maria,Niall ,& the youngest they had together,Celia.
Theater is an itinerant life, the stepsibs bond is strong & it gives them a different perspective on life than most families.I fell in love w/ this book , when they set out to a country house to meet the family Maria would marry into,well it‘s one of the funniest things I‘ve ever read ! Celia 🔽
Leftcoastzen Becomes the one who sacrificed much to take care of Pappy in his dotage, sacrificing her ambitions.This book is dark at times , hilarious, & very much like the best dysfunctional family stories that show up in many NYRB titles.LOL at the country house ! Long suffering people in their orbit do have a point , parasites! 😄👏 2y
