At 61, George is settling down to a comfortable retirement. His daughter is getting re-married, to a deeply inappropriate man. All the planning maddens his wife. His son's life crumbles when he fails to invite his lover to the nuptials. Unnoticed in the uproar, George discovers a sinister lesion on his hip, and quietly begins to lose his mind. The way these damaged people fall apart, and come together as a family, is the subject of this disturbing yet amusing portrait of a dignified man trying to go insane politely. By the author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.
