Cover: Lane Smith. keywords: Literature Translated Hungary Eastern Europe . FROM THE PUBLISHER - A gripping story of grief following a parent's death. Two brothers and a sister, now adults, are summoned by their father and reunited on a miserably hot August day at the hospital where Mother lies on her deathbed. Their awkwardness is intensified by the presence of an outrageously vulgar doctor and an evil nurse. The elder son faithfully narrates the inevitable unfolding of events, Mother's death, the funeral, and the days of mourning, struggling to make sense of an experience at once commonplace and painfully unique, and so powerful as to be compared only to love. inventory #15114 ISBN: 0802111238.
